A product manager will ___ a roadmap.
You set a roadmap — defining the strategic plan of what to build and roughly when. Set collocates with roadmap, direction and goals. Lay off, pin up and fix out are not idiomatic. A roadmap communicates priorities to stakeholders and the team; setting it well means balancing customer needs, business goals and engineering capacity into a coherent, achievable plan.

When deciding what to build first, you ___ a feature.
You prioritise a feature — deciding its relative importance against everything else competing for resources. Prioritise (US: prioritize) collocates with feature, backlog and work. Rank off, order up and sort out are not the standard collocation. Prioritisation frameworks like RICE or MoSCoW help, but the core skill is saying no to good ideas so the team can focus on the most valuable ones.

To define the size of a large initiative, you ___ an epic.
You scope an epic — defining its boundaries: what is included, excluded and roughly how big it is. Scope collocates with epic, project and work. Size off, measure up and gauge out are not idiomatic. Scoping an epic upfront prevents scope creep later and gives the team a shared understanding of the goal before breaking it into stories.
4 / 5
To reduce scope under time pressure, you ___ an epic.
You descope — deliberately removing parts of the planned work to hit a deadline or refocus. Descope is the standard product term (the opposite of scope creep). Unscope off, shrink up and cut down out are not used. Descoping is a healthy decision when trade-offs demand it: cutting lower-value parts of an epic lets you ship the core value on time rather than slipping entirely.
5 / 5
To release a minimal first version, you ___ an MVP.
You ship an MVP (minimum viable product) — releasing the smallest version that delivers real value and lets you learn from users. Ship collocates strongly with MVP, feature and product. Launch off, float up and send out are not the collocation. Shipping an MVP early validates assumptions with real feedback rather than over-building features users may not actually want.
