Summary

Roadmaps define a project's goals and major deliverables (milestones) in a given timeline. They show what the project is to deliver now, next, in the near future, and later on. However, how would you best know the most viable feature to roll out to the customers through the project's timeline? John Cutler believes that teams leveraging 'suitably detailed roadmap items', are more likely to deliver the most viable solution to the customers. Such Roadmaps contain multiple options regarding one issue that the team tries as a solution to prioritize one as the main option.

Takeaways

  • A suitably detailed roadmap contains progressively disclosing options/solutions of a project that are tried and one is prioritized as the main option depending on the project's goal.
