Your job
Decide what Vela AI can actually do at launch.
What you need to deliver today
1. Launch features
Pick 3-5 features from the full roadmap to build first
2. What we're NOT building yet
And why (prioritization logic)
3. Demo story
What do we show in sales calls? In what order?
4. Beta plan
Who tests it first? When? How many users?
5. Week-by-week timeline
What gets built when?
Your constraints
- ❌ Feature freeze in Week 3 (nothing new after that)
- ❌ Engineering team is 4 people (can't build everything)
- ❌ Must integrate with Salesforce & HubSpot (Operations needs this)
Who you need to talk to
- SALES: What features actually close deals?
- MARKETING: What's the main hook we're selling?
- OPERATIONS: What integrations are non-negotiable?
- ENABLEMENT: What's easiest to train sales on?
Red flags (don't do this)
- ❌ Building features customers don't care about
- ❌ Promising features that can't ship on time
- ❌ Not explaining WHY you cut certain features
