I’m asked questions about product management from time to time. Here’s one I’ve answered recently:
Hey Jock,
I would love to pick your brain about roadmaps.
To give more clarity to my team (which is working on two mandates/sub-projects), I would like to empower them with a roadmap/timeline of the project. We already have one, on Confluence that I’ve printed next to our whiteboard. But it’s not “ours”.
Any recommendation in terms of shape/content? Should it be extremely detailed or high level? More generally, how to craft the best roadmap/product timeline for my team?
And for its creation? Any convenient tool or Excel template for this?
Thanks so much for your help!
