Win the roadmap argument with a working prototype
PMM influence on the roadmap usually comes down to how well you can argue it in a document. If you've watched a real customer need lose out to something easier to build, or been told to write it up and wait, this is for you. A working prototype ends that argument faster than any slide, and building one doesn't need an engineer or a ticket that gets deprioritised twice. Three things you'll leave able to do: - Build a rough working prototype of the thing you're advocating for, without engineering time - Use interactive artefacts as evidence in roadmap and pricing conversations - Know where vibe coded work belongs, and where it will embarrass you
