Ask yourself these questions when deciding whether to include confidence information in your roadmap: Does your roadmap include specific timeframes—e.g., months, quarters, or years? Does your roadmap show themes or features far enough into the future that you find yourself reluctant to commit to those items? How regularly does your development team hit dates projected months in advance? Do your stakeholders tend to assume that if it’s written down, it is a promise? Have you already included stage-of-development information that might provide enough insight into confidence?
