Why Power User roadmap feedback matters

If you're not running regular Power User roadmap priorities surveys, you're missing out on vital input from your most engaged users—the ones shaping your product’s direction with their real-world needs. The importance of Power User recognition survey work isn’t just about collecting opinions. It’s about unlocking meaningful direction for your roadmap.

Companies leveraging AI report up to a 270% growth in AI adoption between 2015 and 2019—and with that surge comes new ways to listen smarter, not harder. [1] If you don’t have systems for easily surfacing roadmap priorities from your power users, you’re at risk of relying on guesswork or letting a loud minority dictate what comes next.

  • Power User feedback pinpoints features that truly add value, not just the ones that are loudest in the inbox.

  • Data-driven input sidesteps HiPPO bias (highest paid person’s opinion), so decisions reflect broad user needs rather than hunches.

  • Missed direct feedback means you could invest in the wrong things, delay progress, or even lose your edge to competitors.

Bottom line: capturing regular, candid opinions from your most dedicated users isn’t just a nice-to-have—it's non-negotiable for any serious product or UX decision-maker.

Writing questions that drive real insight (and how Specific helps)

Not all survey questions are created equal—especially when targeting Power Users about roadmap priorities. A poorly designed question yields confusion or generic responses, and undermines your decisions. Let’s make the distinction concrete:

  • Bad question: “Do you like our product?” (way too vague)

  • Good question: “Which feature in our product do you rely on most for your weekly workflow, and what are the biggest gaps you’ve encountered?”

Specific's AI survey generator helps you avoid classic mistakes—like leading questions, jargon, or double-barreled prompts. By leveraging proven wording and expert research templates, it ensures every question is tuned for clarity and action.

Here’s our quick guideline for writing better survey questions:

  • Make it specific: Focus on real-world use, not just opinions.

  • Avoid assumptions: Don’t presuppose a feature is important—ask respondents to rank or compare options.

  • Probe for “why”: Always follow up with, “Why is this feature important to you?” or “What would you improve?”

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

What makes our conversational surveys stand out is how Specific’s AI asks contextual follow-up questions in real time, just like an expert interviewer, so you never end up guessing what a reply really means. Instead of vague answers and back-and-forth email chains, you get the detail you need—right away.

  • Power user: “I use dashboard charts a lot.”

  • AI follow-up: “What insights from the dashboard charts do you find most valuable for your day-to-day work?”

  • Power user: “Sometimes export is slow.”

  • AI follow-up: “Can you share a specific example of when the export speed affected your workflow or deliverable?”

If you don’t ask these follow-ups, you’re left with surface-level info that’s hard to prioritize. Here’s what it looks like without smart follow-up:

  • Power user: “The reports are sometimes confusing.”

  • (No follow-up… you’re guessing what’s confusing and what to fix.)

These follow-up questions turn a one-way survey into a true conversation. Try generating a survey and experience the difference yourself—it’s a whole new way to get insight.

Followups transform each survey into a flowing, conversational survey that feels natural and human, not robotic.

How to deliver roadmap priorities surveys

With Specific you can put your Power User roadmap priorities surveys right where they’ll be most effective. Here’s how:

  • Sharable landing page surveys: Generate a link and instantly send your survey to a group of power users via email, a Slack channel, or your community forum. Perfect for small cohorts, private betas, or recurring product council check-ins.

  • In-product surveys: Drop the survey directly into your product (as a widget) so power users see the request in their real workflow. This is ideal for capturing context and getting fresh opinions on roadmap priorities—while it’s top-of-mind for your users.

For roadmap priorities, in-product delivery typically outshines standalone pages—it gets you higher response rates because users give feedback while actively using the tools you want to improve. But you might want both: targeted in-app surveys for immediate context, and shareable pages for extended outreach.

Analyzing survey responses with AI

Once your Power User feedback is in, Specific’s AI-powered survey analysis effortlessly surfaces the themes and priorities that actually matter. You can instantly run AI-driven summaries, detect key topics, or even chat with AI about responses—no spreadsheet wrangling required. Our system turns the messy heap of qualitative and open-ended data into clear, actionable insights.
