How do you balance user feedback with your product vision?

Question

How do you decide when to listen to user feedback and when to stick to your original product roadmap?

Accepted Answer

That’s called a vision and strategy. It it is inline with your strategy and vision you executed. If not, think twice… core values will help

Gotta have a clear vision and know your core values. Listen to user feedback, but only execute if it aligns with your strategy. Filter the signal from the noise, and stay true to what you're trying to build. Easy to get pulled in different directions by users, but you're the captain of the ship!

To balance user feedback with your product vision, consider feedback that aligns with your goals and improves user experience. If it doesn’t fit your core vision, stick to your original plan while keeping users informed about your direction.

What I do is that I prioritize feedback that aligns with my long-term goals. If the feedback improves user experience without straying from the core vision, I’ll incorporate it. Otherwise, I'll stick to the original roadmap to stay true to the product's purpose.
