Startup Product Roadmap — Flowgrid

Product: Flowgrid (a workflow automation tool for small operations teams) Owner: Priya Desai, Head of Product Last updated: 2 June 2026 Review cadence: every 2 weeks

---

1. Vision

Flowgrid lets a small operations team automate repetitive multi-step processes without writing code, so a five-person team can run like a fifty-person one. Our north star is the number of workflows that run successfully each week.

2. Goals this cycle

• Activation — grow teams that build their first working automation from 35% to 60% of sign-ups.
• Retention — improve week-4 retention from 22% to 35%.
• Revenue — convert our first 5 teams from free to a paid plan.

3. Roadmap (Now / Next / Later)

Horizon	Theme	Goal it serves	Expected outcome
Now	Reduce time-to-first-automation	Activation	New users build a live workflow in under 10 minutes
Now	Reliable execution & error visibility	Retention	Failed steps are clearly surfaced and retryable
Next	Pre-built templates for common processes	Activation	Users start from a template instead of a blank canvas
Next	Team plan billing & seats	Revenue	Teams can upgrade and add seats self-serve
Later	Deeper third-party integrations	Retention	Connect to the tools teams already live in
Later	Approval & branching logic	Revenue	Support more complex, higher-value workflows

4. Key milestones

• Guided onboarding live for all new sign-ups — proves the activation theme is shipping.
• First paying team on the new billing flow — proves the revenue path works end to end.
• 1,000 workflows run successfully in a single week — our north-star momentum signal.

5. Dependencies & risks

Item	Type	Impact if it slips	Mitigation
Billing provider integration	External	Blocks the revenue theme	Spiked early; fallback to manual invoicing for first teams
Second backend engineer hire	Hire	Slows execution-reliability work	Recruiting now; scope Now items to current capacity
Rate limits on a key integration API	Tech	Limits the integrations theme	Caching layer planned; raised partner tier request

6. What we are NOT doing

• A mobile app — our users build and monitor workflows from a desk; not worth the cost before product-market fit.
• A public API for third-party developers — valuable later, but it would pull focus from activation and retention this cycle.
• Custom enterprise SSO — no demand from our current segment; revisit when we move upmarket.
