CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of product roadmaps

Risk-driven sequencing addresses the highest technical and market risks early when pivoting is cheapest. This is the Build-Measure-Learn loop at the roadmap level: validate the riskiest assumptions before committing to the full feature set.

**Why not A:** Placing all risky items at the end of the roadmap is the opposite of risk-driven sequencing. This approach delays learning about critical uncertainties, potentially resulting in late-stage discoveries that the most important features are infeasible or unwanted, wasting resources on lower-risk items that were built first.

**Why not C:** Sequencing by political risk is not what risk-driven roadmap sequencing addresses. It focuses on market uncertainty and technical feasibility risk, ensuring the team validates the most uncertain assumptions early. Political considerations may influence prioritization but are separate from risk-driven sequencing methodology.

**Why not D:** A legal risk assessment framework for roadmap approval is a compliance activity, not risk-driven sequencing. Risk-driven sequencing is a strategic approach to ordering roadmap items so that the highest-uncertainty items are tested and validated early, reducing the chance of investing in features that miss the mark.
