Chief Product Officer
Every Quarter, A New 'Top Priority'
Nothing Ships
Sales wants this feature. The CEO saw a competitor launch. The board has concerns. Your roadmap changes so often, your team has given up reading it.

Where The Whiplash Comes From
External Pressure:
- Sales: 'Customer X needs this to close'
- CEO: 'Competitor Y just launched this'
- Board: 'Why isn't AI in the product yet?'
- Marketing: 'We promised this at the conference'
- Support: 'This is our #1 ticket driver'
- Legal: 'Compliance deadline moved up'
- Investors: 'TAM expansion opportunity'
What Gets Abandoned:
- Core platform improvements
- Technical debt reduction
- User experience polish
- Performance optimization
- Documentation & onboarding
- Analytics infrastructure
- Security hardening
