Think of a roadmap as a prototype for your strategy, a way to test assumptions about problems you're trying to solve.
Share your roadmap early and often with the team and customers to validate your understanding of the problems.
Be prepared to adjust your roadmap based on feedback.
The value lies in learning and refining your strategy, not in sticking to the initial plan.
