Co-Own The Roadmap: RRRs + Weekly Syncs (Copy/Paste)
If you’re still tossing feedback into Jira and waiting, you’re a cost center.
The CSMs paid $120k–$200k+ don’t collect input. They co-own product calls that cut churn and drive expansion this quarter.
Reality is Product Management doesn’t need more feedback. What they need is decisions by business impact and ready beta testers.
Introducing PPOS (Product-Partnership Operating System)
Here’s a simple system you can run for 90 days to turn customer signals into product decisions that move dollars.
1. Signals => Decisions
Track these 5 signals every week. Rank by $ at risk / $ to gain and time to impact.
Output: a Top 3 Decisions list.
Churn reasons (by ARR)
Blocked value (what stalls time-to-value)
Feature gaps (by volume + ARR)
Expansion triggers (what unlocked $)
Risk clusters (patterns across accounts)
“Voice of customer” is NOT a metric. Dollars at stake is.
2. Artifacts Product trusts
RRR (Revenue-Ranked Request) one-pager
Problem, evidence, $ impact, effort guess, decision ask, 3–6 design partners.
To anchor each RRR in a real plan, grab my Success Plan from The Ultimate CS Templates Collection and map requests to goals, risks, and owners.
Customer Journey Impact Report (monthly)
TTV, adoption %, $ expansion, $ churn saved.
3. Cadence that sticks
Weekly 30-min CS × PM sync with a tight agenda and clear decisions.
Monthly CAB Lite (45 min, one theme, small group).
Quarterly Bet Review (what shipped, what moved $, what’s next).

4. Shared KPIs
Feature adoption uplift
$ expansion influenced
$ churn saved
TTV (median days)
No shared KPIs = no real partnership.

Why You Should Care
You stop being “support with a smile” and start owning revenue levers.
Roadmap choices reflect ARR math, not the loudest voice.
You build a proof trail for comp talks and the board.
When you need the math fast, run numbers with the Business Calculator Suite for CS (NRR, CAC/LTV, and adoption → revenue impact)
Example outcome: Two P0 (=top urgent issue) fixes cut churn by 1–2 pts and unlocked $150k–$300k in expansion in one quarter.
The framework works. The gap is execution.
