At the Zoho School of Business, students of the Product Management Stream read and debate about interesting passages from famous books.
Look at this one - from Product Management in Practice, by Matt LeMay.
First, an imposing list of questions.
How far into the future should the roadmap go?
Who has access to the roadmap? Is it user-facing or public facing?
How often is it revised, and who owns it?
What criteria does something need to meet to be added to the roadmap?
How are changes to the roadmap communicated and how often?
And, then the punch!
Your answers to these questions are not crucial.
What’s crucial is that such questions are asked regularly, and in public!
