    2025/04/07

    AI has significantly impacted software-based products and has started to change how product management is practised. But how is it affecting product strategy? Can AI-powered tools lead to better strategies? Can they even make strategic product decisions on their own? In this episode, I discuss the benefits and limitations of using AI to create a product strategy, as well as the foundations you should put in place to take full advantage of AI tools.

    Succeeding with Product Portfolio Roadmaps
    2025/02/07
    As helpful as they can be, product roadmaps are not always enough. To closely align a group of products and ensure that they all move in the same direction, you’ll benefit from a portfolio roadmap. In this episode, I explain what a product portfolio roadmap is. I share a template to help you build your own outcome-based portfolio roadmap. I show how you can connect your portfolio roadmap to the portfolio strategy and use it to direct the product roadmaps, and I describe who should be involved in developing the plan.

    It may not be pleasant to experience, but conflict is necessary to innovate successfully. Without competing ideas, it's virtually impossible to create great products. Unfortunately, many conflicts are handled poorly; they are hidden or result in personal attacks.

    When You Should NOT Use a Product Roadmap
    2024/10/07
    The product roadmap is a popular product management tool that communicates how a product is likely to evolve. But despite its popularity, it’s not always applicable. In this podcast episode, I share three scenarios in which using a roadmap is not advisable. I explain why not using a roadmap is the right course of action, what you can do instead to plan ahead, and which steps you can take to get closer to developing a realistic, actionable roadmap.
