4. What is a roadmap?
• A roadmap details the features and platforms for
future releases over the upcoming months and years. A
product roadmap reveals your current plans but is not a
commitment.
• A product roadmap shows the sales channel and our
major customers where the product is headed and
what features to expect in future product releases.
