How important is a roadmapping tool? - Tim Herbig

In episode 8 of Talking Roadmaps, Tim Herbig discusses the critical role of roadmapping tools in product management with Phil Hornby. He shares insights from his extensive experience, emphasizing the importance of connecting strategy, goals, and discovery to focus on outcomes. Tim also explores the challenges of balancing large-scale product iterations with the flexibility needed in early product stages. Practical advice on leveraging roadmaps for effective product discovery and strategy alignment is highlighted, providing valuable guidance for product teams aiming for evidence-based decision-making.

For more than ten years, Tim worked in various in-house and consulting roles as a Product Manager and Head of Product. He constantly challenged himself to make an evidence-informed way of working in industries like publishing, professional networking, and building Enterprise-level SaaS applications. He knows what it takes to balance large-scale product iterations with the scrappiness of a pre-Product-Market-Fit state. Tim is on a Mission to help Product Teams find their path to focus on Outcomes by connecting the dots of Strategy, Goals, and Discovery. He wants to create a future where Product Teams can make real progress toward meaningful goals through self-determined and evidence-based decision-making.
