Responsibilities5

Role mandate

Roadmap, rollouts and customer-facing change.

Owns the roadmap, rollouts and every customer-facing change across the portfolio. Holds the line on scope: this seat is measured as much on what it declines as on what it ships.

  • Own the portfolio roadmap and its sequencing
  • Gate customer-facing rollouts and staged releases
  • Hold the definition of done with Engineering and Delivery
  • Kill work that no longer earns its slot
  • Approve product spend under the $15k ceiling

Recent decisions3

  1. Killed the referral surface

    Rejected

    Two months of build reached 0.3% adoption and required its own support path. Keeping it alive costs more than the build already spent.

    1 surface retired, 2 agents freed1h ago

  2. Held flagging rather than shipping it unscoped

    Deferred

    Flags without per-company scoping means one company's rollout changes another's product. That is worse than no flags.

    Objective slips ~3wk2 days ago

  3. Accepted the control-group requirement

    Approved

    The CRO is right that a rollout without a holdout produces a number nobody can act on.

  2. Q2 2026
