# A product roadmap reset

Replace a roadmap made of requests with a short list of outcomes, priorities and owners that engineering and leadership both trust.

[Talk through this workflow](https://lidvizion.ai/contact/?need=fractional-product&from=%2Fuse-cases%2Fproduct-roadmap-reset%2F#write) · [Fractional Product Leadership](https://lidvizion.ai/services/fractional-product/)

Where it starts

## The trigger.

The roadmap has grown into a list of requests, and the team cannot say why one item comes before another.

How it runs today

- Every stakeholder has a top priority.
- Engineering starts work before the problem is clear.
- Releases ship without a way to tell if they worked.

The workflow

## Four bounded steps.

Each step has an owner and a stop rule.

1. 01 / Collect
   Gather every request with its source and the problem behind it.
2. 02 / Frame
   Group requests into a few outcomes the business actually needs.
3. 03 / Prioritize
   Rank outcomes by value, effort and risk, with the reasoning written down.
4. 04 / Commit
   Agree the next quarter’s outcomes, owners and measures — and what is not happening.

Where people stay in control

## Approval points.

- Leadership signs off the priorities and the exclusions.
- Changes to the committed list go through one named owner.

How we would measure it

## Against a baseline.

Measured before and after, on the same work.

### Share of work tied to a committed outcome.

### Releases with a measured result.

### Time from request to decision.
