What exactly is a product roadmap?
A product roadmap visually represents how a digital product, usually software, will develop and evolve over time.
Simply put, it’s the strategic plan that maps out what future functionalities should be implemented, who is responsible for delivering them, and when they should be completed. Importantly, in the roadmap, the product team can also identify core long-term goals and anticipated outcomes.
That’s where product roadmaps come to the rescue. With this all-embracing visual tool, you will manage even the most comprehensive projects with ease.
