It can be interpreted in two ways: the actual deliverable and code that is released (the output of your roadmap and work plan), and the abstract entity that is the means to doing business and is what your company relies on to succeed.

When I talk about roadmaps with younger product leaders, I often hear things like “we don’t need one, we are agile” or “why build a roadmap when things will surely change”. The roadmap sets the strategic direction of the company, and when built right it also doesn’t have to change that frequently, despite your agility.

The product strategy plays a critical role here. The definition of a product strategy is not the strategy of the product department. It’s a strategy that explains how the company is going to succeed based on the product. But the team you play with is the other leaders in the company.
