When users find unexpected ways to use your product, treat it as a signal to reshape your roadmap. Workarounds reveal gaps. If people solve a different problem than you intended, add features or redesign to match what they actually need.

What do you do when users don't use the product the way you expected? Learn and iterate. So ideally, that's, that's going to change the trajectory of what we should be doing. If they're using it a different way and it's solving their problem, but a different problem has arisen, then we should utilize that to restructure our roadmap. But if they're, they're doing what our product is to solve a different problem, then we should probably add a feature that's going to complement that and make that better. So really, as long as we keep our our ear to the ground and we're aligned with our users, we should be structuring our roadmap with it. And if they're using certain workarounds, we need to update our, our product to account for those.
