Who Should Be on Your Product Roadmap Planning Team, and Why?

Question

I know your roadmap planning team should consist of people who can help you move your product planning and development forward, but who do you guys actually choose? How are you building the support when it's your big idea?

I'm the roadmap team. Staff engineer. I'm the product owner. (This in big tech.)We also have TPM, ProdM, ProjM, and ad hoc representation from other affected teams, but I own the roadmap and also have to set it up and keep it up to date.

A development/engineering manager- will bring a broader knowledge of the department’s resources, other commitments, skill sets, tools, etc. so we all know whats "reasonable and feasible" as we like to say

The more enthusiastic your planning team is, the more engaged they’ll be in the strategy sessions and energy is everything imo. Whoever that guy or gal is, invite em.

In order of preference: Owners, Leadership (sponsor), Engineering, PMs, PMMs, and probably someone from sales just in case lol

If there are other PMs, might. be a good idea to have them in an advisory role if not directly involved. Having someone to vent to or just take a look at things with a netral eye
