It’s that time of year again - when product managers look out into the future and try to predict what their products will look like 3 years down the road. Usually you can get to within 50% of next year’s reality, and perhaps less than 10% for years 2 and 3. It’s a tough and fuzzy exercise, but is inevitably demanded by any large public company.

I recently gave a lecture at Haas on what roadmap planning is like for a product manager at a large company, and presented my Top 10 Tips & Tricks for Roadmap Planning. Since it is that time of year, I figured I should distribute it more widely and try to help my brothers (and sisters) out.

Best of luck in the process this year - and remember to give us something different than what we have grown accustomed to!
