Happy Friday!

?? Here is a quick idea before you head off for the weekend:

Reasons why you might be having problems with your product roadmap:

• Have too many items;
• No clear prioritization criteria;
• Is not driven by the focus of your strategy;
• Is based on desires of managers, not customer needs;
• Value is not delivered progressively;
• Have items with impacts that can’t be measured;
• Does not account for risks (technical, business, etc);
• Is not well promoted across the team and stakeholders;
• Too focused on solutions, rather than problems or opportunities;
• Do not inspire!

?????? Concept I read about
