I deleted my roadmap

I had a roadmap. Six months out. Every feature planned. Every milestone mapped. It felt responsible. It felt like I was running a real business.

Then I looked at it one day and realized I hadn't followed it in months. Not even close. Every week I was reacting to something—a user request, a bug, a competitor move, a new idea. The roadmap was just a document I felt guilty about ignoring.

So I deleted it. Now I just have a list of things I might do. No dates. No promises. No guilt.

I get asked "what's next?" and I say "not sure yet, depends on what I learn this week." Some people seem uncomfortable with that. But I'm more honest with myself and my users than I ever was with a fake plan.

Do you have a roadmap? Do you actually follow it? Or is it just something you make because you think you're supposed to?
