How do you make a long-term collaboration enjoyable and successful? One key ingredient for that is the roadmap. This outlines the steps for the upcoming period, which we work out in sprints. During these sprints, Product Owner Thom from Roan spends one day a week at Freshheads. Thom: "We then work as a team with a single task. They contribute their expertise, and I contribute mine. Those short lines of communication are great. That way, we maintain our pace and I am always aware of what's happening." A roadmap isn’t set in stone. Thom: "At Freshheads, it's never just 'yes and amen.' Using their expertise, they protect Roan from useless interventions or non-working features. We keep each other sharp."
