Join 📚 Felicity's Weekly Book Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Felicity's read, .
So if you withhold value at the start of your book — either intentionally or accidentally — then you end up frustrating your readers and decimating your word of mouth. Nonfiction authors make this mistake all the time via the inclusion of lengthy forewords, introductions, theoretical foundations, and other speed bumps that come from a place of author ego instead of reader empathy.

At the end of the day, roadmaps are a communication tool. To figure out which ones are right for your company, think about your audience and what they need to know: Product development teams: These are generally highly detailed, require commitments from engineering by quarter, discovery and delivery status, and are usually a quarter in length. Sales teams: Sales teams need fewer details. They need bigger-picture items that address problems and rough timeline on releases (either quarterly or half year). This is where the narrative/value proposition for each feature to customers is important to include as well. Leadership: These roadmaps focus on the “initiative to strategic intent” layer. They’re used to talking about dependencies and capacity planning, and follow quarterly timelines.

Standardization will look different at every company, depending on your needs, but there are some core areas we all need to standardize, like idea management, roadmapping, product tool kits, and onboarding. And of course, none of this actually replaces the need for skilled product managers. These processes can only help you if the quality of the inputs is good.
