I focus on how to continue expanding our products in alignment with the company direction and vision, but still must consider customer experience, retention, and market forces when creating a roadmap. Therefore, I always start with strategy.<\/p>\n<p>I create themes and epics to deliver our product strategy. I plan at a high level, then add in the details from our engineering system as we work through the stories and intricacies of what it will take to deliver it. At any time, I can export a timeline from the view of our strategic themes or the details of a specific release. To do so, I use the de facto communication tool for any organization or business, from product managers all the way to executives and leadership\u2014Microsoft PowerPoint.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m constantly sharing and talking about our product roadmap. That is the best way to know that we are making the right decisions for our company and ultimately, our customers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6612\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6612\" style=\"width: 694px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=https:\/\/www.planview.com\/resources\/articles\/project-manager-communication-challenge\/ target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"Quickly Create a High-level Presentation to Validate Product Roadmaps with Leadership wp-image-6612\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Roadmaps-blog.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"694\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Roadmaps-blog.png 798w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Roadmaps-blog-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Roadmaps-blog-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Roadmaps-blog-750x400.png 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 694px) 100vw, 694px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6612\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Quickly Create a High-level Presentation to Validate Product Roadmaps with Leadership<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"No_more_frustration_No_more_wasted_time_in_PowerPoint\"><\/span><strong>No more frustration!

And it\u2019s very time consuming. I spend hours creating them, only to spend even more time collecting status reports and updating information on the PowerPoint versions after the work begins in executing the roadmaps.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, this stress is no more!<\/p>\n<p>Now, I can create roadmaps from planned and in-flight work in a single system. My product strategy is \u201cconnect to execution.\u201d I then export it to PowerPoint and can control what level of detail I export.
