Cut the Roadmap Items That Fail the Two-Sided Test
The product abundance audit
Companion to The Code Takes Care of Itself · Updated 2026-09-29
Run this exercise with product leadership in one session.
- List every initiative in discovery or prototyping.
- Run the two-sided test from “Prioritize Work by What It Earns for the Business” on each one: does it clear your economics, and does the customer profit?
- Cut whatever fails either test from the roadmap in the session, not at a future meeting.
- Give every survivor a named owner and a stated bet, in writing, before people leave.
