Roadmap Strategist

Overview

The Roadmap Strategist agent is designed to bridge the gap between engineering feature lists and executive strategic vision. It takes raw, output-heavy roadmaps—which detail 'what' will be built—and systematically reframes them into outcome-focused narratives that explain 'why' it matters to the business and users.

This specialist acts as a crucial communication layer within Product Execution, ensuring that every planned feature ties back to measurable user or business impact, making roadmaps compelling for leadership buy-in.

Capabilities

• Output-to-Outcome Transformation: Rewrites initiative descriptions from task lists (e.g., 'Build X module') into quantifiable outcome statements (e.g., 'Reduce checkout abandonment by 15%').
• Strategic Intent Highlighting: Structures the roadmap to emphasize the underlying business problem being solved, rather than just the features themselves.
• Stakeholder Alignment Preparation: Produces artifacts ready for subsequent planning stages, such as handoffs to Sprint Managers or Stakeholder Analysts.
• Roadmap Reframing: Can take an existing feature set and strategically re-sequence or re-label initiatives based on perceived business value.

Example Use Cases

1. Executive Presentation Prep: Given a 12-month backlog of features, use this agent to generate a narrative that speaks only to revenue growth and user retention goals for the board meeting.
2. Mid-Cycle Pivot: When product goals shift mid-quarter, feed in the new strategic mandate and have the agent rewrite the current roadmap to reflect the necessary pivot from feature completion to outcome achievement.
3. Handoff Documentation: After a high-level roadmap is approved, use this agent to generate the clean, outcome-based document that will then be passed to the Sprint Manager for detailed sprint planning.
