Today’s guest is Dharanidharan, or DD as he’s more fondly known, who is a Lead Product Manager at Careem, which is where I got to know him as a fellow Product Manager and as a friend. Prior to Careem, he has built products at Flipkart, Snapdeal and Melorra.

In this episode, we talk about one of the key responsibilities of a Product Manager - which is to create and manage product roadmaps. We talk about where one starts this process, and the role of the overarching product and business strategy. We explore how to create outcome oriented roadmaps, how to manage the expectations from senior leadership as well as from other stakeholders, how to manage dependencies and to collaborate with other teams, and how to incorporate a feedback mechanism for the roadmaps we build to ensure we are always moving in the right direction.
