Product Roadmaps Relaunched
How to Set Direction while Embracing Uncertainty
by C. Todd Lombardo
Who This Book Is For
An ideal reader is a product leader or PM who owns outcomes, not just releases, and needs a clearer way to align executives, GTM, and engineering. They’re wrestling with feature/date roadmaps that erode trust, operate in uncertainty, and must communicate strategy across multiple audiences. They care about customer problems, evidence, and measurable impact; they use or aspire to OKRs and want a living artifact that stays current as learning emerges. They may lead a squad, a platform group, or an early-stage startup, and regularly juggle constraints—compliance windows, partner demands, technical debt. They’re comfortable with experimentation and dual-track discovery, yet want concrete templates for prioritization, sequencing, and multi-view storytelling. They influence without authority, field tough “give me dates” conversations, and need portable practices that scale from Now/Next/Later at team level to portfolio roll-ups. Above all, they want a roadmap that is honest, outcome-centric, defensible, and adaptable across complex, fast-changing markets globally.
