I did a few different things. For a few of my projects, I wrote a spec defining what "complete" would look like. [0, 1, 2] For the last few months, I've been following a plan that's more loose. I write monthly retrospectives on Indie Hackers [3, 4] and define what I want to accomplish next month, but I don't write a formal plan. Google was very light on PMs, especially the teams I was on. Microsoft used them more extensively, but even then, their main value was in coordinating with other teams and synthesizing information about end-users. As a solo developer, I don't need those things as much. 0: https://mtlynch.io/files/outsourcing-mvp/ketohub-v1-design-doc.pdf https://mtlynch.io/files/outsourcing-mvp/ketohub-v1-design-d... 1: https://mtlynch.io/shipping-too-late/#the-mvp-that-wasnt https://mtlynch.io/shipping-too-late/#the-mvp-that-wasnt 2: https://blog.spaceduck.io/sia-load-test-preview/#full-test-plan https://blog.spaceduck.io/sia-load-test-preview/#full-test-p... 3: https://www.indiehackers.com/forum/isitketo-month-4-my-first-dollar-of-revenue-03e572f661 https://www.indiehackers.com/forum/isitketo-month-4-my-first... 4: https://www.indiehackers.com/forum/isitketo-returning-to-a-site-that-grew-without-me-0a0fe3ef52 https://www.indiehackers.com/forum/isitketo-returning-to-a-s...
