Beehive AI Product Roadmap
During my tenure as Technical Program Manager at Beehive, I led the development of a comprehensive product roadmap for our AI-powered no-code platform. This roadmap served as the strategic foundation for our early-stage startup, enabling us to transform complex technical challenges into a scalable solution for generating and deploying custom web applications.
The roadmap encompassed sprint planning, feature prioritization, technical debt management, and milestone tracking across our distributed team of founders and contract developers. Key components included user story mapping, technical architecture planning, integration timelines, and go-to-market strategies for our AI-driven development platform.
This strategic planning tool helped align our team's efforts, streamline development workflows, and ensure we delivered value to our users while maintaining technical excellence and scalability as we grew from concept to deployment.
