# /transform-roadmap -- Outcome-Focused Roadmap
|
|
|
|
Take a list of planned features or an output-focused roadmap and rewrite it as an outcome-focused roadmap that communicates *why* instead of *what*.
|
|
|
|
## Invocation
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/transform-roadmap [paste your feature list or roadmap]
|
|
/transform-roadmap [upload a roadmap doc, spreadsheet, or screenshot]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Workflow
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Accept the Current Roadmap
|
|
|
|
Accept in any format:
|
|
- Feature list or backlog items
|
|
- Roadmap document (Now/Next/Later, quarterly, timeline)
|
|
- Spreadsheet or Gantt chart export
|
|
- Screenshot of a roadmap tool
|
|
|
|
Parse each item to extract: feature name, description, target date/timeframe, and any context.
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Understand Strategic Context
|
|
|
|
Ask:
|
|
- What are the product goals or OKRs for this period?
|
|
- Who is the audience for this roadmap? (execs, engineering, customers, board)
|
|
- What format do you prefer? (Now/Next/Later, quarterly, timeline)
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Transform Each Item
|
|
|
|
Apply the **outcome-roadmap** skill:
|
|
|
|
For each feature/output on the roadmap:
|
|
1. Identify the **user or business outcome** it's trying to achieve
|
|
2. Rewrite as an outcome statement: "[Verb] [metric/experience] for [user segment]"
|
|
3. Group features that serve the same outcome under one initiative
|
|
4. Add success metrics to each outcome
|
|
|
|
**Before → After examples:**
|
|
- "Build SSO integration" → "Reduce enterprise onboarding friction — target: 50% faster time-to-first-value for enterprise accounts"
|
|
- "Redesign dashboard" → "Help power users find insights faster — target: 30% reduction in time-to-insight"
|
|
- "Add CSV export" → "Enable teams to share data outside the product — target: 25% increase in report sharing"
|
|
|
|
### Step 4: Generate Transformed Roadmap
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
## Outcome-Focused Roadmap: [Product] — [Period]
|
|
|
|
**Strategic themes**: [2-3 high-level themes]
|
|
|
|
### Now (Current Quarter)
|
|
**Theme: [Strategic Theme]**
|
|
| Outcome | Success Metric | Key Initiatives | Status |
|
|
|---------|---------------|----------------|--------|
|
|
|
|
### Next (Next Quarter)
|
|
**Theme: [Strategic Theme]**
|
|
| Outcome | Success Metric | Key Initiatives | Confidence |
|
|
|---------|---------------|----------------|------------|
|
|
|
|
### Later (Future)
|
|
**Theme: [Strategic Theme]**
|
|
| Outcome | Success Metric | Key Initiatives | Dependencies |
|
|
|---------|---------------|----------------|-------------|
|
|
|
|
### Transformation Notes
|
|
| Original Feature | Transformed Outcome | Why This Framing |
|
|
|-----------------|--------------------|-----------------|
|
|
|
|
### What Changed
|
|
[Summary of how the roadmap narrative shifted]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Save as a markdown file.
|
|
|
|
### Step 5: Review
|
|
|
|
Offer:
|
|
- "Want me to **add OKR alignment** for each outcome?"
|
|
- "Should I **draft a stakeholder presentation** of this roadmap?"
|
|
- "Want me to **identify risks** for the Now items?"
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- Outcomes should be measurable and have a clear "done" state
|
|
- Multiple features can map to one outcome — this is a feature, not a bug
|
|
- If an output doesn't clearly serve an outcome, flag it for the user to justify or deprioritize
|
|
- The audience matters: exec roadmaps should be outcome-only, engineering roadmaps can include deliverables under each outcome
|
|
- "Later" items should be less specific — outcomes without committed solutions
