Your roadmap is a list of everyone's opinions

Every stakeholder wants their feature prioritized. Sales wants custom builds, marketing wants new campaigns, engineering wants to refactor. Nobody agrees on what matters. You need a senior PM who can say no, prioritize ruthlessly, and align your team.

Your product team lacks senior leadership

You have talented designers and engineers executing well, but no one connecting user research to business strategy to shipped features. Priorities conflict, decisions stall, and you're shipping features that don't move the needle.
