Thoughts on making your roadmap public?
There are a couple of comapnies that have decided to make their roadmap public. I've always thought this was a great idea but I could see how this could affect you competitively.
Here is buffer

Has anyone tested with this? Do you visit any company roadmaps? Do you like it? is it risky?

@arvidkahl had an interesting discussion about this on Twitter the other day: https://twitter.com/arvidkahl/status/1209290856169136130
I have to admit I'm on the fence and flip back & forth between sharing publicly or only with paying customers. I'm not sure where I'll land. I do think sharing changelog and roadmap with paying customers is the minimum since customers want to see ongoing progress.
Thanks for the response. I’ll be testing this with my current customers and see what we new ways we can improve the experience. What tools do you use?
Please let us know how your customers responded to it - and if/how it changed your roadmap :D
No problem!
I ended up rolling my own solution.
I wanted:
1.) No double entry
2.) Integration on my site; not sending users to a third party off my site just to see it.
