Why do roadmaps exist?
As product manager going through an existential crisis, I am doing some serious introspection on what I am doing in this job. After adding everything from omnichannel integration to ai assistants in the quarterly roadmap, my senior management bosses decided to spend 45 days performing legacy software migration. Now at KPI time they'll all pull out the roadmap which I made and proceed to prune my bonus. Any ideas what to do? Besides rant, of course.
Make realistic deadlines and if shit is going down then escalate to make your seniors aware.
This will need to be esaclated to the senior manager. Ideally this kind of mistake (migration to AI assistants) is being committed by all the managers right now.
Probably the mistake should be admitted by the manager itself. Otherwise try to switch
