6 Steps of Product Roadmapping

6 Steps of Product Roadmapping

Follow these 6 steps to create an effective path map that can be applied to any field or industry. The UX Product Journey Map is a strategic, realistic information product that prioritizes and reflects the team’s future workload and issues that need to be addressed.

6 Key High-Level Stages:

  1. Define the goal: Decide what the goal of your product roadmap and its participants is.
  2. Data Collection: Gather information from stakeholders and existing research on issues that need to be addressed.
  3. Group by Topic: Group issues by topic.
  4. Prioritize: Set criteria and create a scoring system to rank topics.
  5. Visualize and Share: Arrange topics and findings on a timeline.
  6. Review and update: Revisit the product roadmap regularly and revise it as necessary. Also, important is product design and development. 

Step One: Define a Goal

The most important part of mapping is the beginning of the map. An effective product journey map must have a clear goal, stakeholder support, and effort.

The single main purpose of mapping a product journey is to keep it focused and set clear priorities (such as what information to convey, who is involved in the process, or the tool the map lives in). 

Step Two: Collect Data

Once you have established a clear goal for your journey map and created a core team, the next step is to collect potential data for that product map. Your goal is to get any information that will help identify potential problems and prioritize them. This likely data comes in all shapes and sizes. For now, don’t worry too much about what each data type means for your map.

Step Three: Create Themes

The purpose of this step is to create the themes for your path map. Topics represent future UX work, including major areas of focus and potential initiatives. To create themes, you need to make a list of ideas. This step is very similar to the thematic analysis in qualitative research.

Step four: Prioritize Topics

The next step in the process is to determine the highest priority topics that will be located on the map closer to the current and subsequent periods. There are several established methods for prioritizing and identifying topics that matter most.

Step Five: Visualize and Share

The penultimate step of the path mapping process is to decide how you want to visualize and share your path map. The final accuracy of your path map should reflect what you want to achieve and who will see it. The more specific your roadmap (and the smaller the audience), the less accurate it needs to be – don’t spend too much time making it perfect. Choose a tool that is easy to understand and accessible to everyone (such as a spreadsheet, digital whiteboard, or slideshow) and make changes with it.

High-level path maps intended for stakeholders and other teams need to be more accurate. In this case, create a concise, clear visual with context, date, and version number.

After creating a visual (low fidelity or high fidelity), consider how you will share it. Go back to the original purpose of the path map to determine your communication strategy. Decide when, how, and which tool to use based on the audience, culture, and formality of the workplace. If your audience hasn’t seen the path map up to this point, then pay attention to setting the context and repeating the goal. Consider customizing the level of detail to suit your audience and directly ask for the feedback you want to receive (for example, needs information, team alignment, or resource support).

Step Six: Review and Update

Path maps are realistic products, so be sure to review and update them regularly. After creating your initial version of the path map, you should update it and make changes if necessary. At a minimum, most path maps need to be reviewed every month. Move resolved topic questions from Now to Completed, update topics where progress has been made, and possibly add further clarification to future topics where preliminary work has been done. When reviewing and editing, be sure to keep past versions – they can be useful to show stakeholders the extent of progress.

According to a survey of start-up owners, the failure of their business is 38% lack of funds and 35% lack of market needs. That is why it is always necessary to scale the road map of the product, because it is precisely in it that all the pitfalls are hidden, which, as a rule, are not immediately visible.

Conclusion

Feel free to tailor the path-mapping process to your needs: turn it into working practice, create an outline of hypotheses yourself, then test it with colleagues, or take one step a week for a month.
