Jobs-to-be-done

Prioritize roadmap decisions using validated customer signal.

Struggle: Feedback is fragmented and hard to convert into execution confidence.

Outcome: Feature prioritization anchored in recurring evidence clusters.

Evaluate release impact quickly and objectively.

Struggle: Teams identify regressions too late and lose iteration speed.

Outcome: Fast post-release signal loops across sentiment and trend movement.

Key outcomes

Issue detection

<1 sprint

Release regressions are spotted and mapped faster.

Roadmap fit

+30%

Prioritization tied to measurable customer feedback signals.

Retention signal

+12%

Tighter loops between support, product, and growth.

Deep workflow

Step 1

Aggregate all feedback channels and normalize rating signals.

Step 2

Track sentiment deltas after releases and map issues to product areas.

Step 3

Use shared review intelligence in roadmap and GTM planning.

Proof and case snippets

Earlier regression detection

Release impact clarity

Post-release sentiment shifts were mapped directly to feature areas and product surfaces.

Better roadmap fit

Roadmap with customer signal

Prioritization shifted to recurring review clusters instead of isolated requests.

Complete case study

Baseline context

A SaaS team had high feedback volume but low decision clarity. Signals from app stores, support, and community channels were disconnected, and release impact was often measured too late.

Product, support, and growth teams disagreed on prioritization because each function relied on different slices of customer evidence.

Intervention design

The team aggregated feedback into one normalized stream and grouped recurring issues by product area. Post-release sentiment and trend deltas became mandatory checkpoints in each release cycle.

Roadmap conversations shifted from anecdotal requests to recurring evidence clusters with observable customer impact.

Results and learning

Regression detection accelerated, prioritization became more objective, and cross-team alignment improved significantly.

The team increased iteration speed while reducing the risk of shipping changes that harmed customer trust.
