jidoctor @mhowell - humbly disagree, all roadmaps have internal stakeholders/customers BEFORE they go ext #prodmgmttalk -4:20 PM Aug 15th, 2011

mhowell @jidoctor I think the key here is what stakeholders will consume the service. A service that is focused externally needs MRDs #prodmgmttalk -4:20 PM Aug 15th, 2011

ErikaLAndersen You should start doing persona research as you're creating the product vision? #prodmgmttalk -4:20 PM Aug 15th, 2011

ProdMgmtTalk @mhowell sees value to adding personas definitions to roadmap @ErikaLAndersen #prodmgmttalk -4:25 PM Aug 15th, 2011

mhowell I really like @ErikaLAndersen suggestion of adding Personas! #prodmgmttalk -4:25 PM Aug 15th, 2011

jidoctor i think the roadmap is iterative in detail depending on what u learn as product becomes viable - from mkt know 2 int 2 ext. #prodmgmttalk -4:26 PM Aug 15th, 2011

brainmates A2: The level of detail on the roadmap depends on the horizon. If its within next 6 months, need more detail.#prodmgmttalk -4:26 PM Aug 15th, 2011

jidoctor the roadmap grows and changes as you learn more, and is relevant to the diff aud. i never use one roadmap fit all! #prodmgmttalk -4:26 PM Aug 15th, 2011

ErikaLAndersen @mhowell How do you use a mindmap in creating the roadmap? #prodmgmttalk -4:26 PM Aug 15th, 2011

nickcoster A2) Idea from #pcampsyd - Time Horizons: Set time horizons to define undserstod levels of detail vs Time http://t.co/IKpJ77d #prodmgmttalk -4:27 PM Aug 15th, 2011

ProdMgmtTalk A2: there are diff levels of detail on the roadmap for diff stakeholders - not everyone sees same details - its strategic #prodmgmttalk -4:27 PM Aug 15th, 2011

brainmates Depends on the customer RT @ErikaLAndersen: Clarify: Does the customer need long term or immedately? #prodmgmttalk-4:27 PM Aug 15th, 2011

baltomel Agree! @brainmates A2 The level of detail on the roadmap depends on the horizon. If its w/in next 6 months, need more detail #prodmgmttalk -4:27 PM Aug 15th, 2011

jidoctor i have successfuly used 1 for sales (to share out) 1 for execs and 1 for dev - simultaneously. diff aud = diff details #prodmgmttalk -4:28 PM Aug 15th, 2011

ProdMgmtTalk RT @nickcoster A2) #pcampsyd Time Horizons: Set time horizons 2 define undserstod levels detail vs Time http://t.co/HMiw7ZI #prodmgmttalk -4:28 PM Aug 15th, 2011
