Roadmapping for Product Development

We will look at the process of how to create a roadmap, which is a strategic process outlining the actions, steps, and resources needed to take the initiative of a product from vision to reality, communicating the why and the what of the product from concept to the market. To get everyone in the organisation and team aligned and headed in the same direction, a product roadmap is essential, looking at the short and long-term goals for the product or project, and how they will be achieved.  

Join our panel to find out what some of the key challenges can be to create the best roadmap; and obstacles you could face.  Our panellists:

Jelmer van Ast, CEO of Conference Compass, MESA Patron Member, Will Custard, Product Director of CrowdComms, MESA Patron Member, Samy Aziz, Product Ownder of idloom, MESA Patron Member and Sean Barnard, Managing Director of Involved Events, MESA Member.   

Moderated by Franco de la Croix-Vaubois, Founder & CEO of Frog Events, MESA Member.
