Project roadmaps serve as visual representations of the project’s goals, tasks, and assignments. A project roadmap usually includes the following components:

• Objectives or goals of a project
• Budgeting and resource allocation
• High-level deadlines and milestones
• Multi-person tasks and cross-functional tasks
• Responsibilities related to stakeholders and cross-functional teams

A roadmap needs to be perfected over time since it’s a collaborative and dynamic document. Thus, it will be revisited and updated as the project comes to life.

Essentially, a business model canvas describes how a business or product will get to market successfully. The categories contained in a canvas can be customized. But most will cover such key areas as:

• Defining the value propositions of a product (what it provides and what it promises)
• The target market (who it is for)
• The key goals (the steps the team must take to succeed)
• Marketing and sales channels (how the organisation will market and sell the product)
• Partnering with third parties (what role they will play in the plan)
• An overview of the cost structure (costs associated with building and selling a product)
• Monetization models (how the product will generate revenue)

User personas represent the users who are likely to use your product. In order to create the potential user groups for your product, we conduct user research to learn about your users, their behaviour, characteristics, needs, and goals. Using this research, you define the user personas and reference them in the design process in order to make the correct decisions.

Once user personas are defined, the next step is to determine how the user will perform tasks in the product also known as user flows As part of the design process, steps and flow are described and shown in a visual representation.

Wireframes provide a basic blueprint for how your product’s layout and design structure. Using simple greyscale lines and boxes, wireframes specify the screens, layout, navigation, and functionality of the product and define its building blocks.

PRDs outline the specific features, and functionality as they drive the development process of a product. A PRD is written to capture the product vision and requirements. Each subsequent document in the release is guided by the PRD. Originally, PRDs were used in the military sector, where complex product requirements needed to be captured. Later on, it made its way to the business world becoming an essential tool for product development.
