Founder Notes to Product Roadmap

Turn founder notes, customer observations, and product bets into a roadmap that keeps the reasoning visible. It connects to Team Decision Memory Template, market-shape-map.

Working moves

• Split raw observations from roadmap commitments so an interesting note does not automatically become a feature promise.
• Link each roadmap item to the customer signal, tradeoff, and unresolved question that shaped it.
• Use public summaries to explain the product direction without exposing private customer details or unfinished strategy.

Why it matters

A roadmap built from notes is easier to trust because people can see the reasoning behind each choice.
