It aligns with my PM/Agile focus: tame dependencies while maintaining velocity. Dive into the original to see the cycles and implications: https://cutlefish.substack.com/p/tbm-379-vertical-vs-horizontal-org #ProductManagement #Agile
Balance isn’t a luxury; it’s survival. The Roadmap Mirage argues for four buckets—Features, Growth, Innovation, Scaling & Debt—and regular calibration to avoid fragility—a pattern I champion in modern product portfolios.
