SaaS Startup Aligns Product Roadmap with Revenue Goals, Increasing ARR by 60%

The Challenge

A B2B SaaS startup was building features based on engineering preferences rather than revenue impact. Product and sales teams were misaligned, leading to wasted development cycles and missed revenue opportunities. The product roadmap didn't reflect what customers actually needed to buy.

Our Approach

We implemented a revenue-aligned product management framework that maps features to revenue goals, prioritizes based on customer value and sales feedback, and ensures product decisions are data-driven. We established clear metrics linking product features to revenue outcomes and created a collaborative process between product, engineering, and sales teams.
