10. How To Create Accountability
Across the Organization

11. Do You Know
If/When Someone
Viewed Your
Product Roadmap?
● Product Managers want to create
accountability across their team and
organization (must influence many
without authority)
● There needs to be trust that other
departments take the time to understand
the product vision and use it to inform
their own decisions

12. Activity metrics allow product managers
to see who has viewed their roadmap.

13. Views Are One Thing,
Engagement is
Another
● Questions surrounding your plans are
inevitable and encouraged
● How do you have discussions about your
roadmap without spending too much time
answering the same questions in
different places?

14. Roadmap level conversations allow to
make. To discuss your larger product
strategy, you can now add comments at
the roadmap level.
