For Government Departments, then the UK Government Service Manual is a great starting point to the importance and value of Agile Roadmaps > **[Developing a roadmap - Service Manual - GOV.UK](https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/agile-delivery/developing-a-roadmap)** > > What a product or service roadmap is for, why it's important and principles to use when you create one. ---

I love the example of roadmaps which comes from Henrick Kniburgs product ownerships video. He really captures how you can also use different types of charts to communicate when stuff will be done or as a tool to negotiate scope, effort, team size. [![](https://yokoten.net/uploads/default/original/1X/b8a5b49e72e5c6095630afde1f8faffd81e38ad9.jpeg "Agile Product Ownership in a Nutshell") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=502ILHjX9EE) I have personally been burnt with plans in agile teams and found too many people see them as written in blood and will try and turn them into gannt charts. What has really worked for me is using ‘Now, Next, Later’ and having conversations around objectives and horizons. This blog is great for summarising a few different techniques. > **[Tips for Agile product roadmaps & product roadmap examples](https://www.scrum.org/resources/blog/tips-agile-product-roadmaps-product-roadmap-examples)** > > As a Product Owner, you are responsible for Product Backlog management, stakeholder management and forecasting. Therefore, you will probably use a variety of tools and techniques to track progress, manage expectations and keep people informed. One of... This is a cool game to show people the value of planning: - [To Plan or Not To Plan - TastyCupcakes.org](https://tastycupcakes.org/2016/09/to-plan-or-not-to-plan/) Summary I think roadmaps are useful, but with all tools people need to know how best to use them and communicate value from them. For me making sure everyone understands the value and power behind each artifact is key, then agreeing how and when you will use them (and update them) otherwise a roadmap can become a promise and/or shelfware. ---

Scaled Agile have a good article on roadmaps. While some is specific to SAFe, it’s a great example of having different roadmaps for different purposes, but all describe a _how_ in pursuit of a separately defined _what_. > **[Roadmap - Scaled Agile Framework](https://scaledagileframework.com/roadmap/)** > > Prediction is very difficult, especially if it is about the future. —Widely attributed to Niels Bohr, Danish physicist Roadmap Roadmaps are a visual tool that assists in the development and communication of planned deliverables, milestones, and...
