2026 isn't the year I build a career. It's the year I build a product. Q2 is where the MVP meets real users — and the first paying customer signs.
Reach 10 real users by April 30, ship premium features in May, and land the first paying customer by June 30 — without dropping the 6 critical Samba projects or the content engine.
| Project | Deadline | Disposition | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales & GTM Agent | Apr 15 | Must Own | Strategic priority · 20 hrs |
| Engineering Enablement BMAD | Mar 31 → done | Closed Q1 | Wrapping in early Q2 |
| Enterprise Search RAG | Apr 30 | Deferred | Pushed from Feb · MVP took priority |
| MSCI Agent | Apr 30 | Deferred | Not core focus |
| Programmatic Agent | Jun 30 | Sequenced | After Sales Agent ships |
| Content Agent | Feb 28 | Delegated | Another PM owns · I advise |
Mitigation — pre-launch network outreach, leverage YouTube audience, lean on warm intros.
Mitigation — hard boundaries on the 6 must-own projects. Delegate ruthlessly. Push back on adds.
Mitigation — sleep is non-negotiable, one rest day per week, workouts protected Mon/Tue/Thu.
Mitigation — batch filming, templates, lower production quality is acceptable to maintain cadence.
