The Purpose of a Roadmap: Communication and Goal Alignment

The purpose of a roadmap is to communicate the team's focus, objectives, and desired outcomes to internal stakeholders and even customers. It serves as a tool for aligning everyone involved in the product development process, including product managers, designers, engineers, leadership, marketing, sales, and customer support teams. The roadmap should provide clear and detailed information to the team while presenting a more high-level view for the company and customers.
