Competitive Semiconductor Product Roadmaps

How many of us make a grocery list before going on a grocery mission? Most of us, isn’t it? Making a list of things to buy makes it easy to get everything we need and know when we can finish grocery shopping. In business management, planning and execution of the products demand a similar list. Product managers need a guide that outlines the product plan deliverables with clear and actionable elements to use a product roadmap successfully. A product roadmap outlines the full plan of the products to help product managers set competitive targets, track the progress in the development phase and precisely know when products are ready to be launched. This chapter discusses the semiconductor product roadmaps with a path to implementation and secrets for building strong roadmaps for delivering competitive products.
