Mastering Product Roadmaps | Product Management Fundamentals udemy course

Build Strategic Roadmaps That Align Teams & Get Stakeholder Buy-In. Master Prioritization.

Is your product roadmap just a feature wish list? Struggling to prioritize effectively, align stakeholders, and connect your plan to a clear product strategy?

A powerful product roadmap is much more than a list of features; it's a strategic communication tool that guides development, secures buy-in, and ensures your team is building the right product at the right time. Without one, you risk wasted effort, confused teams, and missed market opportunities.

This course, part of the Product Management Fundamentals series, provides the essential framework and practical techniques to create and manage effective product roadmaps. Led by Luke Angel (PMP, MBA), an instructor with over 25+ years of real-world project and product experience, you'll learn how to translate vision and strategy into an actionable, compelling roadmap.
