Product roadmapping is a critical activity in product development, as it provides a link between business aspects and requirements
engineering and thus helps to manage a high-level view of the company’s products. Nowadays, inter-company collaboration, such
as outsourcing, is a common way of developing software products, as through collaboration, organisations gain advantages,
such as flexibility with in-house resources, savings in product development costs and gain a physical presence in important
markets. The role of product roadmapping becomes even more critical in collaborative settings, since different companies need
to align strategies and work together to create products. In order to support companies in improving their own product roadmapping
processes, this paper first gives an overview of product roadmapping and then discusses in detail an empirical study of the
current practices in industry. The presented results particularly focus on the most challenging and important activities of
product roadmapping in collaboration.
