  1. My Question – If given a choice what would you like to develop FIRST, a feature in software which could bring thousand of dollars in revenue for the company and could make you an instant star with great salary hike, or new feature request asked by most of the clients which would help them in their business and increase their productivity.

  2. How will you go about finding new product ideas?

  3. From this moment, these products are yours and they are linked with your personal and professional reputation and wealth, if they take a beating so does your reputation and your wealth as they are now intertwined. What will be the next 5 steps you will take to garner – more mind and market share and if your strategies fail how will you reinstate your reputation and your wealth?

  4. Do the SWOT for our current product portfolio
