VanaikVanaik: A lot of the graphics in the book are too small but even if you took a magnifying glass (as some readers suggested) you would only see blurred text. The quality of the pictures in print is simply not high enough.
Other than that this book is useful if you're building a roadmap. Unfortunately, in the middle part the authors rush through too many different concepts: OKRs, business goals, themes, needs, output and outcome etc.. and the concepts are not sufficiently connected with a roadmap. The order of the topics and chapters begins to feel slightly arbitrary and the authors don't guide through a full roadmapping process or real case study. The picture gets a bit more clear by the end but overall this feels like a manual that you could read specific parts of if necessary rather than a book.

triaxial123: The senior PM-T on the team recommended this book and wanted to follow some of the principles for our internal roadmap. I haven’t had much training for being a PM, which I’ve find common, so this book was really nice to have to learn how to design and maintain product roadmaps. I enjoy the examples in the book and it was an easy read. I read through it once and review it monthly. I think if you’re a seasoned PM it’s probably not going to be as helpful but might give you some new ideas.

Christina Ivy Ambers: Every Product Manager and Product Owner should purchase the book "Product Roadmaps Relaunched: How to Set Direction while Embracing Uncertainty"!
I read the book this week and find it incredibly comprehensive for roadmaps. I coach many teams on so many of the concepts and this is the first time I've found everything in one book. The clincher for me is Chapter 11 and the Roadmap Health Assessment Checklist. Love this book and everyone in Product should have this on their bookshelf.

Amazon Customer: If you are making a product roadmap, buy this book! It is a thorough guide on how to make a great product roadmap... in just 200 pages (quite easy to read also).
A key concept in the book is that Product Roadmaps should not have features written in them. The Product Roadmap defines what problems/goals/objectives will be addressed by the product team, but not what specific features will be needed for achieving those.
I can strongly recommend the book!

Scott: Decent book. Love the authors in general. Have used some of McCarthy's concepts as part of my own roadmaps; though I've modified them somewhat. And ironically, one of the products one of the authors talks about in the book is a product I worked on in a minor capacity for a little while. So it pains me a little to not give them all five stars. But even though the core value really is there for a newbie product person, there's just a couple of things I had some minor issues with.
Here's the good: If you're a new product person or you've been doing it 'by accident' as a lot of PMs fall into it... and you really have no solid structure, then you really do need this book. The core concepts are reasonably solid and will give you a framework. (And frameworks are useful. Some these days are like... maaaan.... frameworks are like too stifling. They're wrong. And foolish.) So the book is useful there.
The weak: I'm not sure if using themes and sub-themes to represent problem spaces vs. features really makes sense as a structure at all, but ok... Then we get into some hierarchy in terms of opportunity/solution trees and such, and ideas like critical path journey. Which is kind...

Gerson Azevedo: The authors move us through the very messy path of establishing a roadmap on our chaotic startup world.
And it's great to believe again that there is a world beyond sprint-to-sprint planning.
Many ideas seem obvious in hindsight (such as co-creation or shutter diplomacy to get a buy in), but make such a huge difference in the outcome that cannot be overstated.
Get it if you're trying to become a great product person.

Steve Johnson: The product roadmap is one of product management’s most commonly requested document and the most misunderstood. Executives reference the roadmap to monitor their pet projects. Sales people use the roadmap with customers to show features to be delivered in the future (“and if you buy today, I can guarantee these features next week!”) Marketing teams use the roadmap to align product releases with industry events. Sadly, most teams—both internal and external—see the roadmap as a commitment, not as a strategic plan.
Product Roadmaps Relaunched explains what a roadmap is (and isn’t) and explores how to deal with unrealistic expectations. The authors write:
“Properly done, a product roadmap can steer your entire organization toward delivering on the company strategy. A good roadmap, though, is not so much a project plan as a strategic communications tool, a statement of intent and direction.”
Product Roadmaps Relaunched reveals best practices for managing product strategy using roadmaps with lots of examples, including how roadmaps change through the life cycle and how to incorporate feedback from customers, stakeholders, and your target markets. Of...
