Hey everyone! 👋🏼
I've been thinking about how one of the top mistakes we see product teams make is this: Sending the exact same roadmap export to the CEO, the engineering lead, and the customer.
You have one source of truth, but that doesn't mean everyone needs the same view. A generic roadmap often leaves executives wanting more strategy and engineers wanting more detail.
Here is your quick cheat sheet for better alignment using airfocus:
- For Executives: Use a Portfolio Roll-up or Objective-led (Now-Next-Later) view. They don't care about the granular features; they care about the "Why" and the outcome.
- For Developers: Use Timeline & Release views. They need to see dependencies, specific milestones, and the "When."
- For Customers: Use a curated Shared URL. Give them the "hype" strip without exposing your internal messy kitchen or uncommitted dates.
My challenge to you: Before your next stakeholder meeting, spend 5 minutes creating a view specifically for them. Stop explaining your roadmap and start letting the view do the talking.
Happy roadmapping! 🚀
