The last thing you need is to stumble into the abyss of bad branding, a place where countless others have lost their way. They believe so strongly in their vision that they assume it’s universally appealing. You and your team may lack the knowledge or resources to execute it properly, leading to avoidance or superficial efforts.

While I thought it was an absolute, for a micro-second, I questioned it, and then the floodgates of doubt opened — maybe not such a bad thing in this case. Especially in mature companies, roadmaps provide a false sense of certainty when you are early in developing a product. The slide doesn’t guide product teams for planning purposes.

If you want to know what the culture is like in a product team, you should visit one of their product meetings. Do they talk about tasks and deadlines or blurry visions about the future? None of these are good or bad, but these signs can help you evaluate the culture of the team. How were we developing our teams?

maybe not such a bad thing in this case. In mature companies, roadmaps provide a false sense of certainty when you are early on in developing a product.

What starts as a slow boil – where the team has a well-planned roadmap, and a big vision – becomes a sudden crisis. The team needs a new plan. So if your numbers are bad, don’t think that adding notification emails will solve it. Eventually, there’s a back to back where things are completely flat.

On the other hand, nobody knows your idea better than you, and the best way to share it for future professional design and development is to visualize it. Having a prototype is not only a good way of presenting your idea, but it can also help you determine app development costs in the future. Sounds interesting, right?

There are a few common blunders that rookie product managers fall victim to: The development backlog is not the roadmap. The roadmap is a visualization of the strategic product plan, which in turn drives the development backlog. Think of it this way, the roadmap is the ‘why’ and the ‘what’ , the development backlog is the ‘how’.
