Roadmap Narrative

Q: How do I know the Roadmap Narrative output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Every initiative in the input maps to a strategic theme; The executive summary can stand alone and be repeated correctly after one reading; Progression narrative shows causal links between quarters (not just chronological listing); "What's not on the roadmap" section includes at least 2 items with clear rationale.

Transform a prioritised initiative list into a compelling strategic roadmap narrative. Use when asked to write a roadmap narrative, explain the product roadmap to non-technical stakeholders, connect roadmap items to company goals, or produce an exec-shareable roadmap story. Produces a themed narrative with strategic context, quarter progression arc, an executive summary, and a 'what's not on the roadmap' section.

What to give it

▸Prioritised initiative list — with rough timelines or quarters

▸Company OKRs or strategic priorities — to connect roadmap to company goals

▸Audience — all-hands, board, investors, sales team — changes tone and depth

▸Items explicitly NOT on the roadmap (optional) — optional but strengthens credibility

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Every initiative in the input maps to a strategic theme

✓The executive summary can stand alone and be repeated correctly after one reading

✓Progression narrative shows causal links between quarters (not just chronological listing)

✓"What's not on the roadmap" section includes at least 2 items with clear rationale

✓Language throughout is free of engineering jargon — tested by asking: "could a CFO repeat this?"

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not produce a list of features with dates and call it a narrative — every initiative must connect to a strategic theme

Do not omit the "what's not on the roadmap" section — without it, the narrative lacks strategic discipline

Do not write progression as a chronological list — show causal links between quarters (Q1 enables Q2 because…)

Do not write the executive summary last and treat it as a summary — write it as the version stakeholders will repeat

Do not let orphaned initiatives appear without a theme — either create a theme or flag the gap explicitly
