About ProdPad
A roadmap tool preaching its own philosophy through a thought-leadership feed
ProdPad's feed is its product-management blog, essays on roadmapping, backlog hygiene, feedback handling, and stakeholder alignment. There are no release notes here. The consistent argument, that time-based roadmaps are false promises and Now-Next-Later is the honest alternative, is the same worldview ProdPad's product is built to enforce, so the content doubles as ideology marketing.
