How to Build Roadmaps that Stick
Wouldn't it be great if no one could argue with your roadmap? Wouldn't it just rock if you could cut through the endless debates and circular arguments, get to consensus, and just execute?
I'm Bruce McCarthy, VP of Product at NetProspex and Chief Product Person at UpUp Labs. In 17 years as a product person, I've built a roadmapping methodology on 5 pillars:
- Strategic goals
- Objective prioritization
- Shuttle diplomacy
- Transparent themes
- Punctuated equilibrium
At last year's ProductCamp, my standing-room-only session on prioritization was a huge hit with product people. This year I will focus on translating your priorities into a roadmap that will inspire your whole team to buy-in, stick with it, and over-deliver.

Last year's session was very useful for creating and prioritizing my roadmap, looking forward to this again!
