How to use this model

Understanding the Roadmap and Setting OKRs: The product manager should start by familiarizing themselves with the roadmap and its phases. This will give them an overview of the journey ahead. They should then set OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) for each phase. The OKRs will help them set clear, measurable goals that align with the overall objectives of the initiative.

Communication and Collaboration: Once the roadmap and OKRs are clear, the product manager should communicate these to all stakeholders and team members. They should foster a collaborative environment where everyone understands their role and is committed to the success of the initiative.

Leading and Guiding: As the leader of the initiative, the product manager will guide the team through each phase of the roadmap. They will ensure that all tasks are completed, and all acceptance criteria are met. They will also address any issues or challenges that arise, and make necessary adjustments to the plan.

Monitoring and Reviewing Progress: The product manager should regularly review progress towards the OKRs. They should use this information to keep the team motivated and focused, and to adjust the OKRs or the approach if necessary.

Learning and Adapting: Finally, the product manager should foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement. They should encourage feedback and use it to improve future phases of the roadmap. They should also be open to adapting the roadmap or the approach as they learn more about the needs of their organization and the capabilities of the Power Platform.

Remember, this is a dynamic model. It should serve as a guide, but it should also be flexible enough to adapt to the unique needs and circumstances of your organization. The goal is not to follow the roadmap rigidly, but to use it as a tool to help you achieve a successful adoption of the Power Platform.
