I’ve been talking with product managers lately about how the concepts of “essentialism” can help them focus their efforts on what matters. I distilled the advice a few months ago in my book The Essentialist Product Manager and have recently been giving talks and workshops on the topic. How to Roadmap like an Essentialist.

In the past decade, the field of product management has evolved, shedding much of its earlier ambiguity.

Without thoughtful leadership around them, it may not be in product manager’s gift to achieve a “good” roadmap.
