“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth” — Mike Tyson I’ve wrestled with weak roadmaps — even some downright disasters.

If you ever had to face a Manager, Director or Exec as they make bad product decisions and you’re struggling to persuade them otherwise, this post will help you.

I normally write about how to evolve your organization from a weak product org to a strong one.
