Roadmaps for Game Producers

A couple of people who watched my Work Estimates video asked if I could go into more detail on roadmaps and the roadmapping process, so here it is! This uses real examples of high level roadmaps, product roadmaps, Dev/Tech roadmaps and explains what that all means. I spend quite a bit of time working through WHY you might want to use them and some of the better flows and takeouts from those exercises. I truly hope you find this useful. Apologies the audio quality needs a clean up and I only realised after uploading. Please let me know what you would like covered in more detail and I'll find some production friends to come help out with answering your questions.
