S2E15 How We Decided on Our Roadmap

About this episode

Everyone says you need to measure everything so you can make data-driven decisions on your product. That's exactly the strategy eWebinar DID NOT follow, especially when there's not going to be enough data when you don't have enough users.

On this episode, Melissa and Todd shares how they decided on priorities even before having a significant customer base, and the lean process their product team goes through to execute on feature development and roll out.

Takeaways: 

• How we came up with an initial wishlist as a guideline
• How we prioritized by listening to customers (but not always)
• Why we didn't measure anything nor make data-drive decisions
• The process of deciding on features per quarter and executing
• Things we do that are significantly different than large companies
