Product owners using WideCharts to Manage Up

As a product owner, one of your key responsibilities is to manage up. This means keeping your stakeholders informed of your product's progress and ensuring that they are happy with its direction.

One of the best ways to do this is to use high-level timelines, or "WideCharts." WideCharts are an excellent way to communicate your product's progress to senior stakeholders, as they provide a clear overview of what has been done and what is still to be done.

However, it is important to remember that detail is often a bad thing in a timeline. When dealing with senior stakeholders, it is best to keep your timelines high-level and concise. This will help them to understand your product's progress quickly and easily, without getting bogged down in the details.
