Course Description
Welcome to Product Management: Mastering Product Roadmaps.
The traditional way of building product roadmaps just does not work in Agile environments. And teams mitigate this by either 1) tightly restricting access to their roadmap or 2) entirely abandoning the use of roadmaps.
It's time to reinvent the traditional product roadmap.
I created this course and packed it with practical, real-world experiences that I’ve gained working with Product Management teams around the world. All theory is paired with practical exercises we’ll complete together in your workbook.
What you’ll get from this course.
1. I’ll show you how design a roadmap template that incorporates the right level of detail, without overcommitting.
2. You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of approaches for identifying your roadmap stakeholders, gathering inputs, and understanding your business ecosystem.
3. We’ll then look at how to uncover and express roadmap themes and consider when to add features to your roadmap.
4. Then we'll do deep dive into roadmap prioritization, including avoiding common mistakes, and key frameworks that can be used. We'll also explore tried and tested methods for achieving stakeholder alignment.
5. In the final section, we'll do a deep dive of presentation options. I'll also show you how to keep your roadmap fresh and effectively communicate changes to stakeholders.
Why learn Modern Product Management?
The demand for the "strategic" Product Manager is growing rapidly. In fact, LinkedIn ranks "Product Manager" as one of the most promising jobs, with 29% year-over-year growth. More and more companies are finally figuring out how important this discipline and this role are to their success.
But Product Management practices are also widely misunderstood, with most product initiatives failing to launch. And of those that do launch, only a fraction delivers value to the intended customers.
In a field where so many teams follow counter-productive practices, copying others won't work.
Don't Imitate. Understand.
This course will teach you proven roadmapping techniques used by top product teams. And the practical portion will give you real-world skills that you can apply immediately.
If you're a Product Manager looking to level up your product roadmapping skills or are trying to transition into a new career, this course will help prepare you for success.
And if you work in a related role (Business Analyst, Project Manager, Developer, etc), you’re also in the right place.
What if I have questions?
I offer full support, answering any questions you have 7 days a week (whereas many instructors answer just once per week, or not at all). This means you’ll never find yourself stuck on one lesson for days. With my hand-holding guidance, you’ll progress smoothly through this course without any major roadblocks.
So Let’s Do This! Enroll now and sharpen your product roadmapping skills.
See you on the inside!

This class has really been very impactful for me, before now roadmaps have always only been about features and dates. This insightful class has expanded my mind on how relevant roadmaps can be to the success of my project. Thank you

This section has some meat to it. Useful as I launch an early career product manager at the task of creating the next gen of a product entering decline leveraging technology and customer wishes with the technology together with brand to restart the lifecycle curve.

This course walked through the pitfalls of most roadmaps, why they don't work, and what to do instead. It also gave practical time for the learner to create a roadmap using the tools and suggestions provided herein. Excellent course.
By Vasser Muscat on 2/6/2025
Raj presents the material in an organized, thoughtful manner, one step at a time so that I can absorb what he is saying. I'm also very excited that his slides and a workbook are supplied with this course...many udemy classes i've taken do not supply them which I find frustrating -- I need to go back and study slides and take notes to learn, not just watch a video of someone talking. Thanks, Raj!

I give this course five stars. In this course I was able to learn the processes and elements to create, present and maintain a Product Roadmap. The explanations are very clear. I liked the examples, because they reinforce the learning. I highly recommend it. I give this course five stars.

Great course! I enjoyed how it was structured and very engaging presenter. Just a small comment to improve it: Some content in section 1 could be organized better by for instance placing the Instructor Intro, Important Messages and invitation to join the student community at the beginning to get these points out of the way rather than jumping in and out of the roadmap related content. Thanks!
By Jose Granifo on 9/24/2023
I found it very clear, precise , concise and useful. Maybe not 5 start because i would expect to hear about tools like Figma, or maybe more information and examples of the neccesary team to carry out the development
By Chiedu Oranye on 2/25/2023
Left many questions unanswered & actually a bit confusing. Does not give examples to learn from. Concentrates on talking about the collaborative tool Miro instead of actual roadmapping. I am very disappointed because I loved his Product Management A-Z course but this is a big disappointment.
By Anonymized User on 2/23/2023
This is one of the best tutorials. Good job! The content is clean, practical and to the point. We need to think like an entrepreneur even while working within a project or a team, and this course guides us to that direction. Not just learn thing, also learn the art of doing it right.
By Tommy Légaré on 1/6/2023
Great course! The documents and resources are well done and available for download. The exercices are well explained and are a great way to get into actions quickly. I really feel I am now more organised and I better know the tradeoffs of all the options. Thanks Raj for this nice course!
