Picture this: you develop an app, then launch it worldwide. Yeah, we know, it sounds pretty much like a developer’s worst nightmare.

If an organization’s founders aren’t designers and don’t come from a background where well-designed products played a key role in their lives, it can often be the last discipline to be brought onboard the team. On a bad day, a lot more of it got thrown away. My responsibility was to build a design team in that new agile way of working.

Scrum is a great way of organising software development teams but it doesn’t answer the sorts of questions that CFO types love to ask like “how much will it cost and when will I get it?” A layered backlog – which includes granular stories ready for the developers to work on. Other key Ingredients.

The Basics Put simply, a roadmap is a living document that shows how you plan to develop your product. So it seems the vast majority of SaaS companies only allow team members to view the roadmap, even if most employees don’t actually use it. Enabling your internal teams to access and use the roadmap should be the minimum.

Half of the calls I get from CEOs include requests for Product Management to boost productivity in Engineering (aka Development aka Makers). This reflects confusion about what product managers do (and how we really add value), and often poor role definition where product managers are also project/program managers or engineering leads.

Managing code in one single repository can simplify the development of modular software in a big way.
