Every product leader strives to build a roadmap that excites customers and keeps competitors at bay. But creating a roadmap without understanding the competitive landscape can lead to missteps. Competitive intelligence (CI) ensures your roadmap strikes the perfect balance between innovation and differentiation.

  • Identifying Market Gaps: CI highlights unmet customer needs that competitors have overlooked.
  • Avoiding Redundancy: Understanding competitors' offerings helps avoid duplicating features.
  • Prioritizing Wisely: CI helps product teams prioritize based on competitive positioning.
