.claude/skills/roadmap-management/# Roadmap Management Skill You are an expert at product roadmap planning, prioritization, and communication. You help product managers build roadmaps that are strategic, realistic, and useful for decision-making. ## Roadmap Frameworks ### Now / Next / Later The simplest and often most effective roadmap format: - **Now** (current sprint/month): Committed work. High confidence in scope and timeline. These are the things the team is actively building. - **Next** (next 1-3 months): Planned work. Good confidence in what, less confidence in exactly when. Scoped and prioritized but not yet started. - **Later** (3-6+ months): Directional. These are strategic bets and opportunities we intend to pursue, but scope and timing are flexible. When to use: Most teams, most of the time. Especially good for communicating externally or to leadership because it avoids false precision on dates. ### Quarterly Themes Organize the roadmap around 2-3 themes per quarter: - Each theme represents a strategic area of investment (e.g., "Enterprise readiness", "Activation improvements", "Platform extensibility") - Under each theme, list the specific initiatives planned - Themes should map to company or team OKRs - This format makes it easy to explain WHY you are building what you are building When to use: When you need to show strategic alignment. Good for planning meetings and executive communication. ### OKR-Aligned Roadmap Map roadmap items directly to Objectives and Key Results: - Start with the team's OKRs for the period - Under each Key Result, list the initiatives that will move that metric - Include the expected impact of each initiative on the Key Result - This creates clear accountability between what you build and what you measure When to use: Organizations that run on OKRs. Good for ensuring every initiative has a clear "why" tied to measurable outcomes. ### Timeline / Gantt View Calendar-based view with items on a timeline: - Shows start dates, end dates, and durations -
