The goal of the product road-mapping is to develop the product innovation strategy. Product road-mapping leads to effective project portfolio development and management. It provides for company-wide new product development (NPD) strategy development as well as division-level strategic aligning.

 

  

 

 
 

Product roadmaps define new product and service initiatives within a market or technology context. They embody a large percentage of the corporate strategy and provide a degree of tangibility that helps bring together other choices in direction, technology, marketing and so forth to the surface.

Furthermore, starting with product roadmaps forces people to be explicit about how their ideas translate into new products or services. It is vital for developing product roadmaps to discover assumptions beneath the selection of products.
