Because our templates are always built in a live doc with real-time multi-user editing, you can shift strategy and plan for the inevitable detours and bumps in the road.
Define your product vision and goals.
Identify and prioritize key features or initiatives based on their business value and feasibility.
Organize these features on a timeline, aligning them with your product goals.
Use a roadmap tool or Product School’s free roadmap templates to create a visual representation of the plan.
Review and refine the roadmap regularly to ensure it stays aligned with evolving business needs.
A product roadmap typically includes key features, initiatives, and milestones aligned with the product’s goals. It may also show timelines, resource allocation, and dependencies. Roadmaps often include both short-term and long-term plans to guide product development.
To create a product roadmap in Excel, start by listing your product goals, features, and timelines in a table format. Use Excel’s charting tools to create a visual timeline or Gantt chart. You can also edit one of Product School’s free templates in Excel and easily customize colors, labels, and milestones to enhance clarity.
Present a product roadmap by focusing on key milestones, priorities, and timelines relevant to your audience. Highlight how the roadmap aligns with the overall business goals. Use a clear and simple visual format, such as Product School’s Visual Product Roadmap, which can be added to any deck to take your presentation to the next level.
Use clear, non-technical language and focus on the most critical information. Involve key stakeholders in the planning process to ensure alignment and buy-in. Use visual aids like color coding and clear timelines to enhance readability.
