What Is The Cost Of Misaligned Product Roadmaps
Your strategy is brilliant. Your teams are dedicated. Yet, a critical disconnect might be silently draining your resources and stalling your growth
The reality...
Internal studies often reveal that less than 30% of employees fully understand their company's strategy. This lack of clarity directly impacts execution. The painful result? Research indicates that as much as 80% of new features built deliver little to no value to users, a massive waste of development time, budget, and talent.
This isn't just inefficiency. It's millions in wasted spend, lost market opportunities, and burned-out teams constantly building in the wrong direction.

The True Cost Goes Beyond Dollars & Cents
The calculator reveals the visible financial drain from misaligned efforts. However, the far greater cost often comes from the invisible losses:
- Missed Market Opportunities: Product teams building the wrong features means missing critical market shifts, losing competitive advantage, or failing to capitalize on emerging trends.
- Stifled Growth: Without clear alignment, even brilliant strategies remain aspirational. This directly impacts revenue targets and market expansion.
- Talent Attrition & Frustration: High-performing product and R&D talent get disillusioned when their hard work doesn't contribute to clear business outcomes, leading to burnout and costly turnover.
- Diluted Focus: Chasing too many directions or building non-strategic features dilutes your core value proposition and market identity.
My Strategic Alignment Advisory services are designed to eliminate these hidden costs, ensuring every initiative truly propels your business forward.
