Not everyone on our teams expresses themselves clearly.). Maybe this is about a member of the team who’s been passed over for a promotion.

There may also be some designers or a few developers reporting into such roles, but I’m focused away from CTO and VP Engineering roles where the majority of staff are developers. . What does your team and company need?

The Basics Put simply, a roadmap is a living document that shows how you plan to develop your product. Much like you wouldn’t attempt to trek through the Amazon without a map, you shouldn’t attempt to navigate through the rainforests of SaaS without consulting your roadmap.

I often find myself siding with old-school agilists who believe that teams (and their product managers) must continually experiment their way to good processes and collaboration, rather than “best practices” folks who believe there’s a fundamentally right way to do things.

Not just technology companies, but all industries often struggle to have a broad diverse representation amongst their teams.

We’ve relearned over the last few years that products can have unintended side effects, and that bad actors can misuse good products.
