Unfortunately most Product Roadmaps are created "On The Fly" and under pressure when sales or the company management makes a last-minute request. As a result they don't have the impact they should.

Past Webinar - Can You Outsource Product Management? with Alyssa Dver

Requirements Management Software Flash Video Requirements Management Software Podcast Alyssa Dver Alyssa Dver, CPM, CPPM, CEO of Wander Wear Inc., founder of Type @ Consulting.

A product without a full time product manager is like a ship without a captain. So the idea of outsourcing this job seems not only to be a bad idea, but it's probably close to impossible. Right?
