So either we work together to understand your objectives, call them goals if you’d like, and the outcome you are looking for from the product, or we will end the discussion, and you won’t get a committed set of work on the roadmap.” We went away from detailed, long-term, feature-committed roadmaps.

It’s a model of an iterative process that systematically links the product strategy with the product roadmap , the product backlog , the development work, and the key performance indicators (KPIs). Sample product goals are acquiring new users, increasing engagement, removing technical debt to future-proof the product, and generating revenue.
