If you haven’t found the right objective goal-setting framework for setting roadmap priorities, consider Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). Although not designed for product roadmaps in particular, the OKR model has a lot to offer product teams. Objectives and key results can make cross-functional teams more agile.

The developers will handle it. In the go-go environment of Agile , continuous delivery , and SaaS, code is getting cranked out and deployed faster than ever. The increased speed creates plenty of incentives to take shortcuts in both the development and then testing phases of every release. Security is someone else’s problem.

In the past 20 years, we have seen Digital and Agile Transformation Programs grow and swell to $1.3 Organisations arbitrarily issue new role titles such as Product Owner, Agile coaches are bussed in, and teams are organised in “squads”. Instead, Product Teams are normally given features to develop, not outcomes to achieve.

You may involve a development team in visioning activities (vision box, trade journal review, etc.). I recommend to read more about these activities in the “Agile Product Management with Scrum: Creating Products that Customers Love” book by Roman Pichler. Every decision on development should be validated against the vision.

What if we thought about agile planning as a way to manage uncertainty? When I look at long roadmaps with all the “must-do” feature sets and the pressure managers put on teams to commit to delivery, I wonder about this question: How well do we understand the problems we want to solve?

Develop new opportunities. The flipside of this is to develop new opportunities. Working with agility requires a continual cycle of collaboration, delivery, reflection, and improvement. For my money, this is what we mean when we talk about “agile at scale”. Horizons 3 is ideas in the research phase and development phase.

I’m working on my roadmapping talk for Agile 2018. I finally had the transforming idea about how to position the talk: Roadmapping and product planning are about feedback loops. How little can you do get some feedback on the process (the team’s process, the roadmapping process, any process).

The teams want to use an agile approach so they can incorporate learning. The managers want rigid roadmaps. However, the managers create a roadmap similar to the image above. That roadmap has large features and long “deadlines.” The managers created a Gantt Chart as a picture, not a roadmap.
