All those lovely ideas you have for projects get moved into your pipeline. Pipelines are more suited to OKRs than Roadmaps. ... I’ll define Roadmaps as a plan for our desired future and Pipelines as a collection of ideas of projects that might get us to our desired future. Roadmaps have dates. Pipelines use impact/effort/confidence to prioritize the best ideas. By saying Pipelines are preferable to Roadmaps, I simply mean that Pipelines give you flexibility as you try to reach your Objective. If you call it a Roadmap but treat it like a Pipeline, that’s fine. The critical idea is that you have a long list of potential solutions to try out. ... If you have a Roadmap, you’ll want to dismantle it and put it in a Pipeline format.
