# Product Prioritization — What Do We Build Next?

> Every product team has a backlog ten times the size of what it can build. The question is not what to build — it is what to say no to. Convene a panel to sharpen the cut.

## What this is for

Debate roadmap priorities with a panel of expert advisors before the next planning cycle.

## Example questions

- Build the enterprise feature or the self-serve one first?
- Technical debt quarter or new feature quarter?
- Should we kill this feature with low adoption or invest in re-launching it?
- Mobile app or deeper desktop experience?

## Synths that fit this decision

- **The PM** — Frames the tradeoff in terms of user outcomes and roadmap sequencing
- **The Customer** — Represents what users actually need (not what they say)
- **The Engineer** — Stress-tests build complexity and technical debt cost
- **The Growth Hacker** — Evaluates which bet moves the growth levers fastest

## Sample outcome

**Consensus score:** 73%

**Recommendation:** Ship the self-serve improvement first — faster ROI, protects the existing base. Enterprise feature in the following cycle.

### Key points

- Self-serve improvement has broader adoption surface
- Enterprise feature risks locking the roadmap for one deal
- Sequencing protects existing momentum

### Watch-outs

- Enterprise pipeline slippage if delayed too long
- Self-serve win may mask need for deeper enterprise bets

## About SynthBoard

SynthBoard is a standing board of AI experts that argue with each other on purpose, remember every call you make, and learn from how those calls played out. Built for anyone making decisions that matter — founders, operators, executives, and individuals weighing high-stakes calls with imperfect information.

Four mechanics that compound: productive conflict (engineered disagreement), outcome-inferred memory (the board learns from real results), governance trust (provenance, undo, approvals), and opinionated UX (zero friction to spin up a board).
