The PM Survival Game

Think you can ship the product without burning out the team, blowing the roadmap, or losing your stakeholders’ trust? Five sprints. Fifteen tickets. No good options.

DISC—001
Discovery
The CEO has three product visions. You have room for one.
What do you do?

How to Play

15 sprintsTake the product from discovery to launch across 5 sprints — each with 3 Jira tickets to resolve, in order.
2TradeoffsEvery choice is a tradeoff. Pick a response and live with the consequence.
3Slack interruptsUrgent Slack messages will interrupt you — the CEO with a quick thought. Handle it.
45 / 10 startEvery stat starts at 5 / 10. Keep them balanced — your lowest stat decides how the launch goes.
