We have a public roadmap that lists features users have requested, but we also maintain a secret roadmap with innovative ideas that competitors are unaware of.

The 'secret roadmap' strategy allows Captions to develop breakthrough features that competitors never see coming.

We conduct quarterly brainstorming sessions that include everyone in the company, allowing us to gather diverse ideas and insights for our product roadmap.

Our product roadmap has been largely defined by our community, which has guided our development and helped us prioritize features.

The product roadmap combines both immediate and long-term strategies, allowing for parallel execution of small S and big S work.

The secret to our success lies in our sustained focus on improving the product and continuously evolving it, rather than just the initial launch.

It's crucial not to let hijack users dictate the product roadmap; focusing on solving one problem well is more effective than trying to please every user that comes along.

In a startup, you often don't have a detailed plan or strategy; your roadmap might only extend to the next two weeks, and you need to create roadmaps as you grow to guide your team effectively.

It's important to regularly communicate the company's goals and roadmap to ensure everyone understands them. Founders often underestimate how frequently they need to reiterate these messages to keep the team focused.
