Road mapping is the strategic process of determining the actions, steps, and resources needed to take the initiative from vision to reality. In the case of product road mapping, the process involves a product manager and her team. Together they determine all requirements to take the company’s product vision to a market-ready product. First, they pull together all their research. Then they lay out the product journey on a roadmap, breaking each component into themes, epics, stories, resources. Then they prioritize each item through ranking. Finally, they get to work, updating the roadmap often to ensure they continue to stay on the right track.
