Living between the timeframe of corporate strategy and the current release, a good product roadmap serves to guide the internal activities of the company as well as binds customers to the organization because they know where you’re heading. Unfortunately, many product managers equate a simple PowerPoint slide in which the next three releases are shown with bulleted features as a good product roadmap. In doing so, these product managers fail to leverage the power of a good roadmapping process. In this presentation, Luke will define a more effective roadmap structure and describe several in-person and online collaborative games that Enthiosys have developed to help product teams work with internal and external stakeholders to create useful, actionable roadmaps.
