Strategy question

Make the product roadmap for a note-making app. The product is currently in MVP.

Practice this question out loud. An AI interviewer asks it, follows up like a real interviewer would, and scores your answer. Type or speak.

What this question tests

Strategic roadmap thinking for a post-MVP product, sequencing investment across retention, growth, and monetization.

Clarify the current state, what the MVP does today and what early usage data shows about where users struggle.
Identify the core jobs to be done, quick capture, organization and search, and cross-device sync, and assess which is weakest today.
Prioritize near-term work, likely fixing core reliability and sync, since a note app users cannot trust to save their notes will churn fast.
Sequence mid-term work, search and organization improvements, e.g. tags or AI-assisted summarization, once the core loop is solid.
Sequence long-term work, collaboration or monetization, e.g. shared notebooks or a premium tier, once retention is proven.
Define success metrics per phase, day 7 retention for the reliability phase and weekly active note creation for the growth phase.

Sequences the roadmap by dependency, fixing core reliability before layering growth or monetization features on an unstable base.
Names concrete phase 1 work, sync reliability and offline support, rather than jumping straight to exciting features like AI summarization.
Ties each roadmap phase to a specific metric, e.g. day 7 retention before growth phase, growth phase before monetization phase.
Explicitly flags what would be deprioritized, e.g. collaboration features, until the core single-user experience is solid.

Jumping straight to advanced features like AI or collaboration before the core product is reliable.
Proposing an unordered feature list instead of a sequenced roadmap with dependencies.
Not defining what data or metric would gate moving to the next phase.
