A product roadmap is a visual representation of your product strategy. It's always a balance of internal and external needs.

In this lesson, I'll teach you the mindset of creating product roadmaps, so you can think like a great PM. Topics we'll cover: 

• How can you use a Product Roadmap effectively? 
• What does a Product Roadmap include? 
• What types of stakeholders look at your roadmap? 
• What's the difference between a Product Roadmap and a Product Backlog?

Once you've created a base version of your roadmap, you can start customising it for the different audiences you need to communicate to. In this lesson, I'll show you: 

• Features vs Products, what are the differences
• The different ways to display and group roadmap items
• Real examples of how I manage my roadmaps in other companies

A PM communicates across all levels of the business. So this means there are actually 3 different types of Roadmaps a PM must know. In this lesson, I'll show you how to: 

• How to create the 3 different levels of roadmaps: Initiative Roadmap, Product Roadmap and Feature Roadmap.
• How to set up goals for your roadmap
• What meetings and workshops you need to set up to create these roadmaps 
• How to run these workshops effectively

A roadmap is never static, it's always changing.

• When you get new data -> You need to update your roadmap.
• When you launch a product -> You need to update your roadmap.
• And when competitors launch something new -> you need to update your roadmap. It's always juggling of priorities. 

In this lesson, I'll show you: 

• How to manage change in your product roadmap 
• What type of meetings you need to set up to manage all 3 levels of roadmaps

Like all things in life - practice makes perfect! In this topic, I'll give you the roadmap templates that I use to create my roadmaps.

I'll even give you the downloadable slides from the lesson so you can refer back to this guide even when you're offline.
