Product Roadmap
A product roadmap is a strategic communication tool. Its purpose is to show your team and other stakeholders what your product vision is and how it breaks down into product strategy and the product development initiatives needed to achieve that strategy. A product roadmap is not a Gantt chart, and it’s not a device for showing off every last detailed feature in your development plan – instead, a product roadmap should focus on high-level themes aligned around customer outcomes.
