Welcome back to Product Rants, where Anna-Liisa and Maria grab their coffee and vent about the chaos, contradictions, and curveballs of product management. In this episode, we’re rolling out one of the biggest culprits behind our collective headaches: roadmaps.

You know the drill—roadmaps that are treated like sacred scrolls one minute and flexible "guidelines" the next. Promises made, promises forgotten, and that ever-present question: "Can’t we just squeeze in one more thing?" Spoiler: No, we can’t.

Join us as we rant about the pressure to predict the future, the eternal battle of "why can't we have both priorities," and why roadmaps sometimes feel more like a creative writing exercise than a strategic tool. It’s unfiltered, it’s relatable, and it might just make you feel better about your own roadmap woes.

So, refill your cup and hit play—this one’s for everyone who's ever silently screamed into their backlog. Welcome to Product Rants!
