In approaching product roadmapping, it’s essential to align the product vision with business goals. I prioritize stakeholder feedback, engage with teams to understand their needs, and create a clear timeline for development phases. Having open communication with technical leads also enables us to anticipate challenges and opportunities.

When faced with conflicting stakeholder requirements, it’s crucial to listen and understand each party's priorities. I facilitate a discussion where we can redefine project objectives, work towards compromises, and seek solutions that balance conflicting needs while keeping the overall project goals in mind.

User feedback is invaluable in product development. I prioritize it by conducting surveys, interviews, and usability tests. This feedback not only informs our updates but also strengthens our relationship with users, as it shows them that their input is valued and acted upon.

Managing a product backlog requires organization and prioritization. I regularly refine the backlog by ensuring items are clearly defined, prioritized based on stakeholder needs and team capacity, and aligned with our sprint goals. Continuous dialogue with team members helps keep the backlog relevant and actionable.
