This involved taking a good, hard look at what was on the current roadmap, and really hashing out some plans and thoughts on where we want to go next.<br><br><strong>2) Put the product roadmap building tool to the test<\/strong>, in a live meeting environment. We cracked open the projector, and got the roadmap on the wall and a stack of sticky notes in hand. With this mixture of digital and physical, the session was pretty painless and collaborative. We had everything we needed to jot down ideas on what should go where on the roadmap, and our digital roadmap tool allowing us to simply drag and drop to update in real time.<br><br><strong><em>As far as roadmapping sessions go, this was a breeze!<\/em><\/strong><br><br>Along the way, we came up with a series of new wishlist items for the product roadmap template, minor but impactful things, inspired by either our usage or our users&#8217; feedback. That same day, we set to updating a number of things with the roadmap and the site as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-changes-to-our-product-roadmap-building-software\">Changes to our Product Roadmap Building Software<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s a few of the updates now live:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Roadmap Export is now available in both a &#8216;Regular&#8217; and a &#8216;Detailed&#8217; view. &nbsp;Detailed view shows the full associated Idea and User Story details for each roadmap card, instead of the more compact count visible in the Regular view.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When complete, roadmap cards can now be archived. &nbsp;These are then found in a new section for completed cards, showing your &#8216;Completed Roadmap&#8217; as you go.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can now create a new roadmap card directly from the <a title=\"Writing Detailed Specs\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/features\/ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Idea Canvas<\/a> page, without going back and forth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can add multiple ideas to a card at once, using the Bulk Edit feature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Various usability tweaks, and some performance tweaks that should make the whole thing feel faster and easier to use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the website, you&#8217;ll now find these and a whole pile of other little tweaks. &nbsp;If there&#8217;s something else you&#8217;d like to see, we&#8217;re all ears! &nbsp;Get in touch at <a href=\"mailto:hello@prodpad.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hello@prodpad.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the massive changes we&#8217;d made to the roadmap with the latest major release, we were ready to put our roadmap to the ultimate test: A full-on digital meets physical&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1265,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[31,75,130,157,160,182,213],"pp_uni_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-prodpad-news","tag-bulk-editing","tag-export-tools","tag-new-feature","tag-product-design","tag-product-evolution","tag-product-roadmap","tag-roadmap-structure"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Product roadmap put to the test | ProdPad<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Our latest roadmapping session resulted in a new product roadmap, and a new way of using the roadmap.
