Happy Friday and a Happy Christmas Eve!

Here is a quick idea before you head off for the weekend:

Looking at your roadmap can tell you about the maturity of your product. 

Over time, as products evolve, features become much more granular with many medium/low-value items. What started with a list of foundational features has now become a set of small incremental improvements. 

This is a sign to reflect and take action.

Is a [counterintuitive challenge ](https://www.cesarrg.com/counterintuitive-challenge/)when managing well-established products, yet this lifecycle is a natural evolution of any product. But if you want to avoid the decline, extending the lifecycle of a product at this stage requires re-think what's important for customers. You can either diversify or declutter but what you cannot do is to stay in the status quo.
