"You can’t just do top-down roadmapping because then you end up just blindly building towards some vision that may or may not be actually informed by what customers want... If it’s not grounded in stuff that you’ve learned, then you’re going to be building for months and months and months, years, and not really responding to what customers want."
That’s my good friend and PM rockstar, Janna Bastow, co-founder of Mind the Product on why she shares roadmaps with customers every day. How do you use your roadmap with customers? Discuss.
