Products Roadmaps

Yes, MSF v4.0 provides clear guidance on creating a vision statement for a product and planning a series of releases of that product based on prioritized functionality described in usage scenarios written around a set of personas that are representative of segments within a target market. The prioritization is done using Kano analysis.

However, in future MSF releases, we hope to include more material aligning day-to-day activities with strategic planning and product positioning. Nevertheless, I believe that the guidance we’re offering in MSF v4.0 is market leading and will certainly help ISVs achieve better results.

Perhaps others on this forum will have some real-world examples to share with you.
