Real Example
SSO vs. Search: Making the Call
Leadership needs to decide Q1 priority: Enterprise SSO or AI Search. The PM generates an alignment memo with evidence for both options.
How it works:
- 1Agent quantifies SSO impact: 3 deals worth $450K blocked
- 2Quantifies Search impact: 52 VoC mentions, 89-vote community request
- 3Estimates engineering effort for each (SSO: 8 weeks, Search: 10 weeks)
- 4Identifies dependencies and risks for each option
- 5Drafts memo with recommendation and reasoning
Outcome
Leadership makes an informed decision with clear trade-offs. The memo becomes the record of why the decision was made.
Is this right for you?
If you answer "yes" to any of these, roadmap alignment memos can help.
Do roadmap decisions lack clear evidence?
Is it hard to articulate trade-offs to leadership?
Do you wish you had a structured format for decision memos?
Are past decisions poorly documented?
Do stakeholders question prioritization without data?
