- product-roadmapping-and-portfolio: name the bets boundary in "When Not to Use" — this skill sequences strategic bets across cycles; shaping a single bounded bet routes to product-shaping. - product-shaping: sharpen the existing roadmapping boundary sentence to spell out bet vs. sequences (appetite + circuit breaker vs. continue/pause/kill across cycles). - neckbeard README: route feature-sized work through product-shaping between discovery (product-discovery) and specification (spec-driven-development). Docs-only routing seams per #394; no behavioral content changes. Co-authored-by: factory-droid[bot] <138933559+factory-droid[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
Product Roadmapping and Portfolio Management
Build roadmaps that communicate strategic intent — not project schedules.
Why Install This Skill
Most roadmap tools produce feature lists with dates, creating two problems: stakeholders treat every date as a promise, and the roadmap becomes a project schedule. When a dependency invalidates a date, the document loses credibility. This skill replaces date-first roadmapping with outcome-based sequencing: Now/Next/Later views, strategic-bet management, explicit continue/pause/kill/revisit criteria, and scenario planning.

Quick Start
Load the skill. For roadmaps: references/outcome-roadmapping.md. For bets: references/strategic-bets.md. For portfolio risk: references/dependency-confidence-view.md. For reviews: references/roadmap-review-cadence.md.
Triggers
Load when: building/reviewing product roadmaps, managing strategic bets, defining continue/pause/kill/revisit criteria, mapping dependencies and confidence, comparing scenarios, designing roadmap reviews, communicating roadmap decisions.
Do NOT load for: tactical prioritization (use product-methodology or product-strategy), project scheduling, delivery-flow management (use kanban-guru), capital allocation (use strategy-frameworks).
Requirements
No API keys, dependencies, or system tools required.
