Is it possible to balance the product innovation and feedback we need, with the commitment our management wants? When does it make sense to ask for more feedback instead?

I finally had the transforming idea about how to position the talk: Roadmapping and product planning are about feedback loops. The shorter the feedback loop, the faster and more often we can learn.

Since each product has its own innovation risks, the more a team plans for more frequent feedback loops and decision points, the more agility the team will have. That's why unplanned feedback loops kill efforts and make everyone's lives worse. Intentional feedback loops allow a team to manage project and innovation risks.
