Product Roadmap Guide: What It Is and How to Create One

Atlassian · atlassian.com Free Beginner

Atlassian's guide to building a product roadmap: weigh ideas against customer feedback, company goals and effort, size the detail to the audience, link delivery work (epics and stories) back to it, and update it every week or two.

  • Prioritise from customer insight, goals and effort, not the loudest request.
  • Make the roadmap readable for its audience: too much detail gets ignored.
  • Update it weekly or fortnightly so people consult it instead of asking you.
