Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Product-Dev Alignment Scorecard measure? +

It measures how aligned Product and Engineering are across planning, priorities, execution, and communication. The score translates those gaps into an estimated efficiency loss so you can see how much payroll is being wasted through friction and rework.

How should I answer the diagnostic questions? +

Score each statement from 1 to 10 based on what actually happens in your organization, not what should happen. A lower score means more friction. Honest scoring gives you a more useful estimate of where execution is leaking time and money.

What does the monthly waste estimate represent? +

It is an estimate of how much developer payroll is being lost to misalignment, context switching, rework, unclear specs, unstable priorities, and inefficient handoffs. It is not an accounting number, but a directional signal for how expensive poor coordination has become.

Why does product and engineering misalignment hurt SaaS companies so much? +

Because it slows down learning and shipping at the same time. Teams build the wrong things, timelines slip, quality suffers, and leadership loses trust in the roadmap. The cost compounds quickly when dev payroll is high and execution depends on tight coordination.

Is this score meant to replace a full organizational audit? +

No. This is a fast diagnostic, not a full operating model review. It helps identify whether you likely have an alignment problem and how costly it may be, but deeper issues still require interviews, process mapping, and a review of planning cadence and ownership.

Does this tool save my inputs? +

Yes, it stores your latest scores and payroll estimate locally in your browser so you can revisit the audit later. It does not require an account and it does not send your responses to a server by default.

Tip: Re-run the scorecard after changing roadmap cadence, handoff quality, or planning rituals to see whether alignment is actually improving.
