Is your roadmap a powerful strategic tool... or just a spreadsheet that everyone ignores?

Most of us use roadmaps to align our teams and communicate our vision, yet somehow they always end up looking like dull, grey lists of "stuff to build." It’s time for a rethink.

We are thrilled to welcome Phil Hornby to ProductTank Milton Keynes to help us transform our roadmaps from "meh" to magnetic. While the "Now-Next-Later" format was a great start, there is a whole world of visual storytelling that most product managers are missing out on.

What's in it for you?
In this session, Phil will dive into how to show goals, priority, and optionality without losing the room. You’ll learn about different visual styles you can use to deliver your message and keep your stakeholders actually engaged.

We’ll be chatting about:

• 🗣️ Communication over Planning: Why your roadmap is a conversation, not just a schedule.
• 📈 The Maturity Scale: How to balance timing and content as your product grows.
• 🎯 Audience-First Views: Learning which details to show (and which to hide) for different stakeholders.
• ⚖️ The Secret Sauce: Mixing features, outcomes, and risks to create a flexible, bulletproof plan.
• 🖼️ Visual Storytelling: How to use strategic framing to stop having the same debates over and over again.

The Key Takeaway
You’ll learn why outcome-driven roadmaps are more stable and useful than feature-driven ones, and how to build a roadmap that is simple, strategic, and perfectly tuned to your audience.
Come for the insights, stay for the networking (and the better-looking roadmaps)!

Come hang out it with professional Al women who want to RISE together in thier careers and businesses! Our topic will be AI andhow we can train it for hood, and enjoy a drink and snack together. All food and drink are pay for what you consume.

Join us for a segment, or the whole day. Designed to connect our tech founders and upskill our non tech founders for future readiness.

Welcome to Tech Tuesdays!

The session runs on the 4th Tuesday of each month and you can 'pick and mix' the segments that you want to attend..

11am-midday TECH SURGERY: an informal networking session where we bring together out tech and innovation ecosystem with our non-tech founders.

Why? Well,

1. we'd love our tech ecosystem to be better connected across disciplines and meet more likeminded individuals for joint ventures, collaborations and conversations. Bring a banner and promote your tech/innovation business.

2. our non-tech founders know they need to upskill, become more digitally literate, embrace new technologies and adopt more efficient and future ready ai enabled solutions, but navigating those early options can feel like a minefield, where do you start when you dont even know what you need to ask for?

12-1pm LUNCH & LEARN: We'll provide the spotlight speaker (see the NatWest Accelerator App for speaker details) and a buffet to feed your tummy along -with your brain. Each session will welcome a new spotlight, to shine a light on local founders in our Accelerator network who have an innovative. digital or tech solution, a tip or tool that will be useful for our SME ecosystem.

1-2pm IOT Geek Out: Led by Lawrence Archard and IOTMK, this is a deeper level 'geek out' into everything 'internet of things'. Ideal for the more tech-curious and seasoned techie!

Lawrence will also be hosting an IOTMK pub meet up in the evening (bookable separately) for those who really want to make a day of it.. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/iotmk-106985062611
