Teams iterating without a vision work blindfolded — chasing features while missing opportunities or threats. Brendan shares models for balancing short-term iteration with longer-term vision, including measuring big bets through experimentation and turning a vision into a roadmap.

RoadmappingRoadmapping helps a team agree which problems to address and how work should progress over time. Start with the intended outcomes and the scope of the team’s responsibility, then organise initiatives into themes and broad time horizons. Discuss priorities with the people who will deliver or depend on the work. Maintain the roadmap as evidence and circumstances change. Use it to communicate direction and trade-offs, rather than treating every item as a fixed delivery promise.
