This is the session you wish you'd seen before taking on roadmap responsibility.

Teams get pulled in different directions by competing priorities. Staying focused on delivering growth is the key challenge as you balance a design vision with the need for immediate impact.

This talk focuses on getting the big calls right and presents a simplified prioritization framework that teams of any size can adopt without much planning overhead. Breaking complex impact estimates and scoping tasks down into a series of simple assessments results in quick alignment on priorities.

Follow along as Constantin Calavrezos, Lead Product Manager at Trailmix Games, presents the data and decision-making process that Trailmix Games used to prioritize features after the launch of Love & Pies.

Takeaway

Attendees will gain a step-by-step guide to roadmap prioritization that can ensure you stay focussed on continued impact. This framework can act as a starting point for your own roadmapping process or inspire discussions and provide examples on how to prioritize future development.

Intended Audience

This is for anyone involved in setting roadmap priorities from product managers to designers and producers. It's beginner-friendly but contains detailed examples and data. The framework is particularly suitable for small teams on free-to-play or live services games. General familiarity with free-to-play game metrics and data based decision-making will be helpful.
