Roadmap Planning

Take a pile of ideas, requests, and ongoing work. Produce a defensible plan for what to ship, when, and why. The output is a roadmap document plus the prioritization work that made it credible.

When to use

• Planning the next quarter or the next year
• Sequencing work where some items depend on others
• Balancing new builds, improvements, and maintenance
• Saying no (or "not yet") to specific requests with a defensible reason
• Aligning a team around a single shared plan
• Communicating the plan to stakeholders outside the team
• Replanning after a strategy shift, a missed quarter, or new constraints
