Ben HalpernWe're kicking off the new season of the DevDiscuss podcast with a topic one could say is near and dear to my heart — and very relevant to all of us here on DEV.
We're talking Forem — the open-source software that powers DEV and a growing number of online communities interested in transparency, accessibility, and authentic connection.
More specifically, this episode is dedicated to the Forem product roadmap — the plan we're following to accomplish critical goals as a community-building tool and business. Our product roadmap is two things in one: a 10 thousand foot view to help us arrive at the bigger picture and a 50-foot view to help us identify the granular details required to make it all happen.
In this episode, I was joined by two brilliant guests from the Forem team...
- Lisa Sy, Lead Product Designer
- Vaidehi Joshi, Lead Software Engineer
@lisasy, @vaidehijoshi, and I also dove into the differences between a product roadmap, vision, and strategy — and talked about the various audiences for this roadmap.
Whether you are active in our codebase or you're brand new to DEV, I hope that this episode helps you contextualize where Forem is headed and how your participation here is helping us drive the future of connection online.
