A pre-scale review for product management before expanding the scope

Before I trust a product strategy, I want to see a clear user problem, evidence that alternatives were considered, and a review plan tied to an outcome. If those three things are missing, the roadmap is usually just a wish list with dependencies.

Three evaluation axes to compare:
- quality of evidence behind the decision
- clarity of roadmap communication
- follow-through on outcome measurement

Review materials:
- Atlassian product management guide: atlassian.com/agile/product-management
A practical reference for planning, teamwork, and delivery rhythms.
- Opportunity solution tree guide: producttalk.org/opportunity-solution-tree/
Still one of the clearest visual frameworks for connecting discovery to roadmap choices.
- GitLab product handbook: handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/product/
One of the best public examples of product work written down in the open.

Save the strongest examples, scorecards, and decision memos in this folio so future teammates can see what good evaluation looked like at the time.
