Gather stakeholder feedback
Empower internal groups to contribute to your product's success
Drive strong collaboration
Involve key stakeholders — including leadership, marketing, sales, and support — at every stage of the strategic planning process. Create space for them to provide input as you review customer feedback, explore solutions, and determine which features will have the biggest impact. This helps you build alignment well before you finalize the product roadmap.
Align with objectives
Explain how you will accomplish your goals or OKRs. Create a strategy roadmap to lay out the timing of your product initiatives — and the underlying epics and features needed to achieve them. This helps you establish the crucial bridge between your high-level strategy and how you will actually implement it.
Socialize your roadmap
Create a presentation to showcase what is coming. Schedule review meetings with internal groups to provide a live walkthrough — highlighting the customer challenges you want to solve and business impact. Engage in meaningful discussion as you collect feedback, address questions, and explain trade-off decisions.
Fine-tune the details
Gather input in a more flexible way. Add your roadmap to a shared whiteboard so people can absorb the details and leave comments. Assign to-dos to set a clear timeline for providing feedback. Make adjustments to your roadmap as necessary — knowing that you cannot please everyone.
Finalize your roadmap
Close the feedback loop with stakeholders. Then, share the updated version of your roadmap with the broader organization. Include a live view in your internal knowledge base to make it easily accessible. Stay open to new insights as implementation gets underway — so you can respond quickly to changing customer and market demands.
