Criteria
Buckets to sort features:
Metrics Movers—Improve key product metrics, e.g. AARRR.
Customer Requests—Requested by customers. Carve out the roadmap.
Delights—Based on insights in design/technology customers would love.
Strategic—Aligned with business values and goals.
When too few features in a bucket:
Brainstorm features fitting the empty bucket.
Think how competitors would exceed your product.
Ask teams about features you’re not building.
When too many features in a bucket:
Think if it was created to get work on the roadmap.
Think if the buckets could be rolled up into fewer ones.
Check if the buckets are too granular.
