An engineering roadmap distinct from product is a set up for failure

What a great insight from the recent Refactoring podcast episode with Laura Tacho!

This is something I had intuitively grasped and, consequently, I always tried very very hard to weave the Engineering in the Product roadmap (and even after that, it's still difficult to find the right balance in the daily work, as some of my reports tell me). I'm grateful that Laura expressed this concept so clearly, allowing me to take the insight out of the subconscious (the things we do instinctively) and into the conscious space (the things we actively and purposefully seek out).
