# How should a company prioritize its product roadmap?

Prioritize a roadmap by outcomes, not requests: group requests into the few outcomes the business needs, rank those outcomes by value, effort and risk with the reasoning written down, and commit to a short list with owners — including what will not happen this quarter.

## What this means in practice

- Collect every request with its source and the problem behind it.
- Group requests into a small number of business outcomes.
- Rank outcomes with written reasoning so trade-offs are visible.
- Publish what is committed, who owns it and what is deliberately excluded.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.

## See it as a workflow

- [A product roadmap reset](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/product-roadmap-reset/): Replace a roadmap made of requests with a short list of outcomes, priorities and owners that engineering and leadership both trust.
