Questions to answer during this session
- How can we build collaborative roadmaps?
- How do create roadmaps that are not just useful for planning but also communication and resource allocation?
- How do we apply our process ideals to specific features or goals in a roadmap?
- How do we deal with feedback and make adjustments while still delivering?
- How do we go from big themes and goals and ideas to real asks and actionable tasks?
