Check out this book if you have asked any of these questions
- How to create a product roadmap?
- How do I communicate product strategy in a product roadmap?
- How do I communicate more clearly in a product roadmap?
- How do I show the direction of updates for the product lifecycle in an Agile roadmap?
- How do I get more buy in and support for my product strategy?
Avoid some of the pitfalls of more traditional product lifecycle and product management plans by using a more Agile roadmap. It will let your own and manage the work, communicate what needs to be communicated, and not tie up too much effort in the administrative work of communicating product strategy.
Product roadmaps communicate the vision and direction of a product. They translate strategy into higher level work items, combine multiple work streams into a visual depiction of work and priority, and make this information easily digestible to the users and stakeholders. But what all should be included in the roadmap? How about items to avoid? If these are questions you have asked, then look no further.
