PRODUCT ROADMAP SEVEN STEP METHOD TO CREATE A PRODUCT ROADMAP NIMBLE FRAMEWORK 3
1 ENSURE WE HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE INITIAL LIST OF PRODUCT FEATURES 2 QUALIFY THIS FEATURE LIST BY VALIDATING AGAINST PRODUCT DEFINITION FEATURES 3 PRIORITISE THIS FEATURE LIST  FEATURE PRIORITISATION PROCESS • IGNORE  All features in PARKING-LOT 4 CREATE USER STORIES FOR AS MANY FEATURES AS YOU CAN NIMBLE FRAMEWORK 4 PRODUCT ROADMAP 5 WORK AT A LEVEL OF DETAIL THAT IS RELEVANT TO THE INFORMATION AVAILLABLE
1 IDENTIFY THE THEME(S) FOR ‘PRIMARY USER’ FEATURES • One Main theme + 2 to 4 secondary themes (e.g. Read News, Latest News, Subscribe) 2 IDENTIFY THE THEME(S) FOR ‘SECONDARY USER’ FEATURES • It could by just one Theme (e.g. Create News content) THEMES 3 IDENTIFY THE THEME(S) FOR ‘TERTIARY USER’ FEATURES • It could by just one Theme (e.g. Place advertisements on News site) 4 ADD THREE EXTRA THEMES  MEASURES, INSTRUMENTATION, CUSTOMER SUCCESS NIMBLE FRAMEWORK 5 PRODUCT ROADMAP 5 VALIDATE YOUR THEMES WITH PRODUCT DEFINITION AND FEATURE LIST
O IDENTIFY THE MVP OF THE PRODUCT • MVP is a product with just enough features to satisfy early customers, and to provide feedback for future product development 1 IDENTIFY MVP FOR ALL THE (CORE) FEATURES • You will need High Level user stories MVP 2 IDENTIFY MVP FOR YOUR THEMES • Some themes may not necessarily be part of Product MVP 3 CONSIDER SEPARATE MVP DEFINITION FOR EACH TYPE OF USER • Primary Users, Secondary Users and Tertiary Users NIMBLE FRAMEWORK 6 PRODUCT ROADMAP 4 DEFINE SCOPE OF OVERALL MVP AND VALIDATE WITH PRODUCT DEFINITION
O IDENTIFY THE ‘GOLDEN RELEASE’ (THE DESTINATION or SUMMIT) OF THE PRODUCT • GOLDEN RELEASE  Fully satisfies Product Purpose and fulfils identified Needs of Product Users 1 IDENTIFY ‘GOLDEN RELEASE’ FOR ALL THE (CORE) FEATURES DESTINATION 2 IDENTIFY ‘GOLDEN RELEASE’ FOR YOUR THEMES 3 CONSIDER SEPARATE ‘GOLDEN RELEASE’ DEFINITION FOR EACH TYPE OF USER • Primary Users, Secondary Users and Tertiary Users NIMBLE FRAMEWORK 7 PRODUCT ROADMAP 4 ‘GOLDEN RELEASE’ IS A STATEMENT OF INTENT – KEEP IT AT A HIGH VISION LEVEL
O IDENTIFY THE ‘MAJOR’ RELEASES (MILE MARKERS) ON THE PRODUCT ROADMAP • PRODUCT ROADMAP - This is the path to your SUMMIT or DESTINATION 1 START WITH TWO FOUNDATIONS : • MOBILISATION and FRAMEWORK- these are important Preparatory Mile Markers MILE-MARKERS 2 FOLLLOWED BY MVP RELEASE • A ‘Usable’ and ‘Measurable’ first release of the product, to enable future iterations 3 FOLLOWED BY 2 BASECAMPS – TO LAUNCH YOUR EXPEDITION TO GOLDEN RELEASE • BRONZE RELEASE and SILVER RELEASE – Major events in the evolution of your Product NIMBLE FRAMEWORK 8 PRODUCT ROADMAP 4 FOLLOWED BY ‘GOLDEN RELEASE’ AS YOUR FINAL PRODUCT RELEASE • You will continue to iterate and evolve the Product even after the Golden Release
O PLOT YOUR THEMES AND RELEASES TO SHOW HOW PRODUCT FEATURES WILL EVOLVE OVER TIME – THE PRODUCT ROADMAP WITH MILEMARKERS MAP NIMBLE FRAMEWORK 9 PRODUCT ROADMAP
MAP NIMBLE FRAMEWORK 10 PRODUCT ROADMAP MEDIUM TERM LONG TERM BRONZE SILVER MOBILISE MVP FRAMEW ORK GOLD NEAR TERM THEMES
1 PRODUCTS EVOLVE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME – SO DO THE PRODUCT ROADMAPS 2 THE PREFERRED APPROACH IS TO RELEASE SMALL: MINIMUM VIABLE FEATURES • Measure usefulness of released features to Users  Iterate, Improve or Discard ITERATE 3 BE READY TO: PIVOT AND CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF EVOLUTION OF THE PRODUCT • If clear indication to do so from the feature/product measurements 4 BE READY TO: CONSIDER NEW THEMES, MERGE OR DISCARD EXISTING THEMES • If clear indication to do so from the feature/product measurements NIMBLE FRAMEWORK 11 PRODUCT ROADMAP 5 VALIDATE, ITERATE THROUGH AND ADJUST YOUR PRODUCT ROADMAP REGULARLY • To align with the direction of Product Evolution
