How does an outcome-based roadmap differ from a feature-based one?

Outcome-based roadmap and feature-based roadmap differ in their approach to planning and focus:

• Feature-based roadmap is oriented towards specific features and capabilities of the product. It lists features to be implemented with approximate timelines. This approach is convenient for technical teams and allows tracking progress on tasks.

• Outcome-based roadmap focuses on the results and goals that the product should achieve, rather than on specific features. Success metrics, user problems, and business objectives are important here. This approach helps to concentrate on value for the user and adapt to changes.

Example:

• Feature-based: "Add Google authentication feature by Q3"
• Outcome-based: "Increase registered users by 20% by the end of the quarter"

Outcome-based roadmap is more flexible and result-oriented, while feature-based focuses on implementing specific technical tasks.
