CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of product roadmaps

Roadmap sequencing goes beyond priority — it considers what must happen before something else (dependencies), what reduces risk early (high-uncertainty items first to learn faster), and how to maximize value (delivering revenue-generating capabilities sooner).

**Why not A:** Roadmap sequencing has nothing to do with alphabetical ordering. Roadmaps are strategic planning tools organized around business value, dependencies, and timing — not the letters of the alphabet. Alphabetical ordering would ignore the logical relationships between items that make sequencing valuable.

**Why not C:** This describes a roadmap approval workflow, not sequencing. While stakeholder review is part of roadmap governance, sequencing specifically refers to the order in which items are planned for delivery based on strategic factors like dependencies and risk reduction.

**Why not D:** Listing order in a backlog is a matter of backlog prioritization, not roadmap sequencing. Roadmap sequencing is a higher-level strategic activity that considers dependencies, risk mitigation, learning opportunities, and value delivery timing — it operates at the roadmap level, not the backlog level.
