So you want to be strategic…

Source: gapingvoid.comIt’s easy and I have the answer for you. It boils down to one answering one simple question.

Is this a roadmap supporting activity?

You know I believe that your roadmap is your strategy and that it needs constant attention and caring. It changes daily, whether you want to believe that or not.

Product management is a strategic function and your daily work routine consists of a series of tasks, or activities that range from meetings, answering email and writing (and likely many, many more). Each activity you perform through the day should be validating your roadmap, delivering your roadmap or extending your roadmap. If you can justify an activity as being a roadmap supporting activity then please proceed.

So there you have it, a simple pre-meeting question or summary, in conclusion statement for each activity throughout the day.
