What you will learn in the course
This lesson is part of the course Prioritize and build an outcome-based roadmap
- Tell outputs, product outcomes and business outcomes apart, and phrase a team's goal as a measurable change in behavior it can influence.
- Write useful OKRs (a qualitative objective, measurable key results, guardrails) and spot their common failure modes.
- Choose and apply a prioritization method suited to the question at hand (RICE, ICE, Kano, opportunity scoring, cost of delay, WSJF), taking its limits into account.
- Handle requests from sales, support and leadership starting from the problem behind them, and say no or not now with reasons.
- Build a Now, Next, Later or theme-based roadmap tied to measurable outcomes, with external commitments shown separately.
- Communicate uncertainty and dates according to horizon and audience, and review the roadmap on a written rhythm and set of triggers.
- Use AI to synthesize roadmap inputs (feedback, requests, data) while keeping evidence traceable and the decision human.
