A product roadmap, roadmap or agile product roadmap is a plan of action and single point of truth for how a feature, campaign, product, service or experience (i.e. initiative) will be executive and evolve over time.

When used as part of Scrum or Agile Methodologies, the roadmap provides crucial context as to what's being done right now and what is coming up.
