πŸ“¦ ProductπŸ‘₯ 4 Roles⚑ Real Workflows

Same prioritization data. Four different workflows.

Tuesday you saw the code. Today you see how real team members actually use it. Each role has different needs, different dashboards, different wins.

Team Workflows

Before Automation

Manually score 40+ features in spreadsheet (3 hours) - constant context switching
Chase down 12 stakeholders for input (2 hours) - Slack, email, meetings
Build presentation deck to justify decisions (3 hours) - endless formatting

With Automation

AI scores all features using framework (30 seconds automatic)
Stakeholders submit input via form (async, no chasing)
Review AI-generated report with tradeoffs (15 min)
Export presentation-ready slides (1 click, 30 seconds)

Impact By The Numbers

Volume

Saved
7h 15m per week = 30 hours/month
Quality
100% framework consistency vs 60% manual
Outcome
Handle 2x feature volume without overtime

"I finally have time to talk to customers instead of updating spreadsheets."

Getting Your Team On Board

⚠️
Fear

PMs think AI will replace their judgment

πŸ’‘
Response

Show that AI scores features, but PM makes final call. It's a calculator, not a decision-maker. Run parallel for 2 weeks: manual vs AI. PMs see AI catches nuances they missed (like usage data they didn't have time to pull).

βœ…
Result

PMs realize AI gives them superpowers, not replaces them. They make better decisions faster.

⚠️
Fear

Analysts worried their role becomes obsolete

πŸ’‘
Response

Reframe: 'You're moving from data janitor to strategic advisor.' Show time saved: 10 hours/week freed up for deep-dive analyses that actually influence strategy. Analysts go from pulling data to interpreting insights.

βœ…
Result

Analysts become more valuable, not less. They finally have time for the work they were hired to do.

⚠️
Fear

Ops lead thinks automation means more work upfront

πŸ’‘
Response

Calculate setup time: 4 hours to configure forms and integrations. Show ongoing savings: 6 hours/week β†’ 30 min/week. Payback in week 1. Plus, stakeholders stop complaining about 'another survey.'

βœ…
Result

Ops lead becomes hero for eliminating meeting overload. Stakeholders love async input.

⚠️
Fear

Engineering skeptical of AI-generated effort estimates

πŸ’‘
Response

AI doesn't estimate effortβ€”engineers do (via form). AI just aggregates and flags conflicts. Show transparency: every score links back to who submitted it and why. Engineers see their input is respected, not overridden.

βœ…
Result

Engineering trusts the process because they control their input. Conflicts surface early, not in sprint planning.

⚠️
Fear

Executive worried about losing control of roadmap

πŸ’‘
Response

Show audit trail: every decision tracked, every stakeholder input logged, every conflict resolution documented. Execs get more visibility, not less. Plus, AI flags when decisions contradict company strategy (based on OKRs you configure).

βœ…
Result

Execs love the transparency. Finally see why features were prioritized (or deprioritized).
