Challenges you could bring

A major deal would delay the roadmap.

A large customer wants custom work. Is the deal worth delaying a release other customers need?

Work through the example
The work in front of you

Take the deal, or protect the roadmap?

01

What you’re facing

An expansion deal needs a custom integration that would delay a promised release.

02

How we could help

We could connect you with a peer or advisor who has weighed that trade-off.

03

Your next questions

What is the deal worth, what slips, and can you renegotiate the scope?

Sales & revenue
A situation you might face. You decide what to act on.
