Roadmap updates that keep everyone aligned

Stop scheduling meetings to explain your roadmap. Create video updates stakeholders watch on their own time. Keep sales, leadership, and engineering aligned without another sync.

Try example prompts

"Three weeks after the roadmap meeting, engineering builds what sales can't sell, and marketing messages features that don't exist."

“

You spend hours preparing your quarterly roadmap presentation.
You get everyone in a room, walk through the strategy, answer questions.
Everyone nods.
Alignment achieved.

Three weeks later, everything drifts.
Engineering builds what sales can't sell.
Marketing messages features that aren't on the roadmap.
Customer success promises capabilities you deprioritized.
Everyone was "aligned" in the meeting.
Nobody stayed aligned after.

”

3 weeks until alignment from roadmap meetings breaks down

5+ hours/week spent on ad-hoc roadmap questions and syncs

4-6 groups of stakeholders needing different roadmap views

Weekly update frequency needed to maintain real alignment

Every misaligned stakeholder is a conversation you'll have to have twice.

From "let me schedule a sync" to "watch the latest update"

The Old Way

Before ngram

  • It's two weeks after your quarterly roadmap presentation. Sales asks why Feature X isn't shipping this quarter anymore. Leadership wants to know if the timeline shifted. Engineering heard a rumor that priorities changed.
  • You schedule three separate calls to explain the same thing. You send a Slack update that gets buried. You update the roadmap doc that nobody checks. Next week, you do it again.
  • Your calendar is full of alignment meetings that shouldn't need to exist. Your actual product work gets squeezed into whatever time remains. Stakeholders are never quite sure what's current.
The ngram Way

After ngram

  • Same priority shift. But this time you spend 10 minutes recording a video update. You walk through the roadmap, explain what changed and why, show the impact on timelines.
  • You share the video in Slack. Sales watches it before their next pipeline review. Leadership watches it on 2x during lunch. Engineering references it in their planning meeting.
  • No calls. No repeated explanations. Everyone gets the same context. When questions come up, you point to the video. Stakeholders trust the roadmap again because they can see you keeping them informed.

2

Or create tailored versions for each audience

Record once, then use Ngram to create different cuts for different stakeholders. Executive summary for leadership. Feature-focused version for sales. Technical timeline for engineering. Same source, multiple outputs optimized for each audience.

Most popular

Either way, your roadmap stays a source of truth. Stakeholders stay aligned. You stop repeating yourself.

What changes when pm roadmap update take minutes

Align every stakeholder without more meetings

Sales, engineering, leadership, customer success. Everyone watches the same update on their own time. No more scheduling conflicts. No more repeated explanations. Alignment scales without your calendar suffering.

Maintain alignment continuously

Alignment isn't a quarterly event. Regular video updates keep stakeholders current as priorities evolve. When you communicate weekly, nobody drifts. The roadmap stays trusted because it's visibly maintained.

Get 5+ hours back every week

Replace ad-hoc syncs, repeated Slack explanations, and one-off calls with a single video. Record once, share everywhere. Spend your time on product work, not alignment theater.

Answer questions before they're asked

Proactive updates preempt the "what's the status on X?" questions. Stakeholders feel informed. They stop pinging you for updates because they trust the video will tell them what they need to know.
