Notion's Workspace Platform team is midway through a 12-month roadmap to improve enterprise admin capabilities, including audit logs, SCIM enhancements, permission controls, and analytics. The team has 10 people (6 engineers, 1 designer, 1 data analyst, 1 engineering manager, and you as PM), and leadership expects visible progress before the annual customer conference in 14 weeks. Revenue risk is rising because several large enterprise prospects have tied renewals or expansions to delivery of specific admin features.
Sales wants customer-specific commitments for three strategic accounts worth $4.2M in ARR. The Head of Enterprise Product wants the roadmap to stay aligned to the broader platform strategy. Engineering wants to reduce context switching because the team is currently supporting 11 active workstreams. Customer Success is pushing for fast fixes to unblock two escalated renewals. These priorities conflict, and the team is starting to lose focus.
The project has no additional headcount and only $120,000 left in vendor and contractor budget for the next two quarters. The conference demo deadline is in 14 weeks, while the full roadmap spans the next 9 months. Two roadmap items depend on the Identity team, which can only provide 30% of one engineer's time for the next 6 weeks. Historical data shows the team completes about 42 engineering points per sprint, but current committed work totals 61 points per sprint.
