The last roadmap | Claire Vo
Sep 24, 2026 · 23:58
Claire Vo, founder of ChatPRD, argues traditional product roadmaps are dead because AI has made building so cheap the bottleneck is no longer engineering capacity but conviction about what to build. At the Lenny and Friends Summit she describes shipping 3x more PRs with 40 Grok bots yet being 'out of good ideas' — even trashing her built Product Graph engine for ChatPRD as undifferentiated. She warns of three traps at 'roadmap zero': the backlog trap (AI clears lists without progress), the parity trap (competitors converge on identical products), and the churn trap (shipping without learning). Her alternative: durable convictions with disposable features, evidence defined upfront, and ambitious two-week experiments over feature velocity — code is abundant, customer trust is not.
