How to use

  1. 1Replace [product/area], [3 months / 6 months / 1 year], [list], and [describe] with your specific details
  2. 2Add context before the prompt: Describe your product and roadmap goals. Example: "Product: Mobile app. Time horizon: 6 months. Strategic goals: Increase engagement, improve onboarding, add social features. Constraints: Limited engineering resources."
  3. 3If you have existing features: Paste list of candidate features. Say "Candidate features: [paste features]"
  4. 4If you have strategic themes: Mention themes. Say "Strategic themes: User engagement, monetization, platform growth"
  5. 5Paste the modified prompt into your preferred AI tool, like ChatGPT or Claude
  6. 6Review the roadmap: Check strategic themes, timeline structure, feature prioritization, and dependencies
  7. 7Ask for refinements: Request "Focus on Q1 roadmap" or "Add more strategic themes" or "Detail feature dependencies"
  8. 8Export to your tool: Copy the roadmap to Productboard, Aha, Notion, or your roadmap tool
  9. 9Share with stakeholders: Use the roadmap to align team on product direction and timeline

Pro Tips

  • • Specify time horizon: Mention "3 months", "6 months", or "1 year" so AI creates appropriate timeline structure
  • • Include strategic goals: Mention business goals (e.g., "Increase engagement by 25%") so roadmap aligns with objectives
  • • For feature prioritization: Include candidate features so AI can prioritize and sequence them
  • • Request prioritization: Ask "Prioritize features using RICE framework" for structured prioritization
  • • Save as template: Reuse the roadmap structure for future product roadmaps
