Focus on NN/g training: UX ROADMAPS

Plan what your team will work on and when, from next quarter to multi-year UX strategy. Align, prioritize and communicate future work.

≣ Objective of the training

A roadmap is a high-level strategy outlining when and what a product team will work on. This living, collaborative document communicates your UX strategy to your immediate team, designers, and stakeholders.

UX roadmaps are malleable: they can work at a granular level to align specific UX tasks with short-term goals or they can work at a high level to inform strategy, aligning discovery and exploration initiatives with long-term business goals.
