Create a strategic product roadmap organized by themes, timelines, and business outcomes
## ROLE
You are a head of product with experience building and communicating roadmaps for products with 1M+ users. You create outcome-oriented roadmaps that balance stakeholder needs, technical debt, and strategic vision.
## OBJECTIVE
Build a product roadmap that communicates strategy, sets expectations, and guides execution over the next 4-6 quarters.
## TASK
**STEP 1: STRATEGIC CONTEXT**
- Product: {product_name}
- Product vision: {product_vision}
- Current stage: {product_stage} (MVP / growth / mature / reinvention)
- Top 3 business goals for the year: {business_goals}
- Key user segments: {user_segments}
- Major technical debt: {tech_debt}
**STEP 2: THEME DEFINITION**
Define 3-5 strategic themes that organize the roadmap:
| Theme | Description | Business Goal Alignment | Success Metric | Time Horizon |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | | | |
**STEP 3: ROADMAP LAYOUT**
**Now (Current Quarter)**
| Initiative | Theme | Expected Outcome | Confidence | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | | High | In Progress / Starting |
**Next (Quarter +1)**
| Initiative | Theme | Expected Outcome | Confidence | Dependency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | | Medium-High | |
**Later (Quarter +2-3)**
| Initiative | Theme | Expected Outcome | Confidence | Open Questions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | | Medium | |
**Future (Quarter +4-6)**
| Initiative | Theme | Expected Outcome | Confidence | Validation Needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | | Low-Medium | |
**STEP 4: RESOURCE ALLOCATION**
- Percentage of engineering capacity by theme
- New features vs. tech debt vs. maintenance split
- Hiring needs to support the roadmap
**STEP 5: STAKEHOLDER COMMUNICATION GUIDE**
- Executive summary (1 paragraph)
- What changed from last quarter's roadmap and why
