A startup will often live or die based on its first product release. Did it get released? Did people find it useful? Good roadmapping dramatically improves your chance of getting to “Yes!�? on these critical questions.

I gave it to Dharmesh at On Startups because he has a much bigger readership that could benefit from this technique.

So, check it out.
