Build a Better Path to Success

Is your product roadmap working for you? Does it help clarify the path and ensure you are getting the desired outcomes? Or is it, despite all your efforts, missing the mark?

Many teams struggle with roadmaps that look great on paper but fail to deliver in practice. Common challenges include:

• Lack of Clarity: Vague objectives and confusing priorities leave teams unsure of what to focus on.

• Unrealistic Timelines: Overcommitting leads to missed deadlines, frustrated stakeholders, and burnt-out teams.

• Poor Alignment: Roadmaps that don’t connect to broader business goals or fail to gain buy-in across teams.

• Over-complication: Overly detailed or bloated roadmaps that confuse rather than clarify.

• Execution Gaps: A roadmap is only as strong as its execution, and many fall short when teams struggle with handoffs, dependencies, or technical debt.

These issues don’t just slow progress—they erode trust and reduce your team’s ability to adapt to change and deliver value.

Our Product Roadmap Process Evaluation is designed to tackle these challenges at their root. By analyzing your processes and artifacts, we’ll uncover opportunities to streamline your approach, improve alignment, and ensure your roadmaps deliver measurable results.

The objective of the Product Roadmap Process Evaluation isn’t to improve your roadmap, but to improve your roadmapping process, thereby ensuring long-term success.

Our Process

• Artifacts Review: We analyze existing roadmaps, backlog grooming practices, and supporting documentation to assess quality and clarity.

• Process Assessment: We evaluate how roadmaps are created, communicated, and maintained as well as identify pain points in collaboration, prioritization, and execution workflows.

• Stakeholder Interviews: We conduct interviews with key team members to uncover challenges and insights about current practices.

• Behavioral Alignment: We assess how well your team practices key behaviors that drive roadmap success, including:

  • Know the problem you are solving.

  • Make the work visible
