Getting people to understand how useless roadmaps are is the hard part.
- dberg 7y agoUnfortunately most companies don't know any better that it is not the job of a PM to "invent" a whole bunch of features that may or may not work.
- bmmccarthy 7y agoIf a roadmap is a list of committed features, yeah, it's useless. A roadmap should be a clear articulation of your product vision and the problems to be solved to get there, not what you think today are the solutions. This is called a "thematic" roadmap or an "outcomes" roadmap. It is well described in this article: https://www.prodpad.com/blog/the-birth-of-the-modern-roadmap/ https://www.prodpad.com/blog/the-birth-of-the-modern-roadmap...
- meerita 7y agoI am devoting my life to make that happen. People don't understand roadmaps are just false promises you make. Product evolution is dictated by other variables more critical than a single slide with some features proposals.
