Which description best characterizes a GO product roadmap?

• A. A plan listing all features to be built in the next release
• B. A strategy for aligning teams on minimal cost delivery
• C. A schedule of milestones with fixed deadlines
• D. A goal-oriented plan that enables value steering, focusing on objectives rather than specific features

Answer: (D)

A GO (goal‑oriented) product roadmap focuses on objectives and outcomes rather than a fixed set of features or dates. It describes what value we aim to deliver and how we will measure success, so teams can steer based on feedback and learning. This makes the roadmap adaptable: priorities shift as we learn, experiments confirm or refute hypotheses, and we adjust course to maximize value. The emphasis is on achieving measurable outcomes and guiding decisions, not on listing features for a single release, minimizing cost, or sticking to rigid deadlines.
