## Workflows
|
||||
|
||||
### Workflow 1: Feature Prioritization & Roadmap Planning
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Prioritize feature backlog using RICE framework and generate quarterly roadmap
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
1. **Gather Feature Requests** - Collect from multiple sources:
|
||||
- Customer feedback (support tickets, interviews)
|
||||
- Sales team requests
|
||||
- Technical debt items
|
||||
- Strategic initiatives
|
||||
- Competitive gaps
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Create RICE Input CSV** - Structure features with RICE parameters:
|
||||
```csv
|
||||
feature,reach,impact,confidence,effort
|
||||
User Dashboard,500,3,0.8,5
|
||||
API Rate Limiting,1000,2,0.9,3
|
||||
Dark Mode,300,1,1.0,2
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Reach**: Number of users affected per quarter
|
||||
- **Impact**: massive(3), high(2), medium(1.5), low(1), minimal(0.5)
|
||||
- **Confidence**: high(1.0), medium(0.8), low(0.5)
|
||||
- **Effort**: person-months (XL=6, L=3, M=1, S=0.5, XS=0.25)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Run RICE Prioritization** - Execute analysis with team capacity
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python ../../product-team/product-manager-toolkit/scripts/rice_prioritizer.py features.csv --capacity 20
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Analyze Portfolio** - Review output for:
|
||||
- **Quick Wins**: High RICE, low effort (ship first)
|
||||
- **Big Bets**: High RICE, high effort (strategic investments)
|
||||
- **Fill-Ins**: Medium RICE (capacity fillers)
|
||||
- **Money Pits**: Low RICE, high effort (avoid or revisit)
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Generate Quarterly Roadmap**:
|
||||
- Q1: Top quick wins + 1-2 big bets
|
||||
- Q2-Q4: Remaining prioritized features
|
||||
- Buffer: 20% capacity for unknowns
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Stakeholder Alignment** - Present roadmap with:
|
||||
- RICE scores as justification
|
||||
- Trade-off decisions explained
|
||||
- Capacity constraints visible
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected Output:** Data-driven quarterly roadmap with RICE-justified priorities and portfolio balance
|
||||
|
||||
**Time Estimate:** 4-6 hours for complete prioritization cycle (20-30 features)
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Complete prioritization workflow
|
||||
python ../../product-team/product-manager-toolkit/scripts/rice_prioritizer.py q4-features.csv --capacity 20 > roadmap.txt
|
||||
cat roadmap.txt
|
||||
# Review quick wins, big bets, and generate quarterly plan
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Workflow 2: Customer Discovery & Interview Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Conduct customer interviews, extract insights, and identify high-priority problems
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
- **Problems**: Deep dive on pain points (not solutions!)
|
||||
- **Solutions**: Reaction to concepts (if applicable)
|
||||
- **Closing**: Next steps, thank you
|
||||
- **Duration**: 30-45 minutes per interview
|
||||
- **Record**: With permission for analysis
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Transcribe Interviews** - Convert audio to text:
|
||||
- Use transcription service (Otter.ai, Rev, etc.)
|
||||
- Clean up for clarity (remove filler words)
|
||||
- Save as plain text file
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Run Interview Analyzer** - Extract structured insights
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python ../../product-team/product-manager-toolkit/scripts/customer_interview_analyzer.py interview-001.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Review Analysis Output** - Study extracted insights:
