Roadmap prioritisation is the process of deciding which initiatives, features or problems a product team tackles first. Teams weigh value, effort, risk and strategy using explicit criteria.
Product discovery is the work of understanding user problems and testing possible solutions before committing to build them. It reduces the risk of shipping something nobody needs.
A product manager decides what a team should build and why, owning the product's direction, priorities and outcomes. Companies hire one when engineering capacity is growing faster than clarity about which problems deserve it.
Scrum is an agile framework in which a small, cross-functional team delivers work in fixed-length cycles called sprints. It follows defined roles, events and artefacts that make progress visible and regularly inspected.
A product roadmap is a high-level plan showing where a product is heading over time. It sets out the problems to address, the outcomes sought and the rough order of major work.
Scope creep is the gradual, uncontrolled expansion of a project's requirements after work has started, without matching changes to time, budget or resources. It is a common reason projects run late.
