Decision inputs
Facts that change the policy answer
Within product and design, this request uses approved roadmap decisions and release confidence to produce a customer-facing roadmap post. Both belong in the submission before any policy route is trusted.
- 1Task and owner
- Product communications manager wants to write a public product roadmap update. Name who owns the finished a customer-facing roadmap post; ownership should not disappear because AI helped produce it.
- 2Information involved
- Approved roadmap decisions and release confidence. Check uploads, history and connected systems before describing the request as low sensitivity.
- 3Tool and account
- An approved company account. A personal login can handle information differently from the company-managed version of the same tool.
- 4Intended result
- The expected result is a customer-facing roadmap post. State whether another person will see it, rely on it or receive an action produced from it.
- 5Consequence if it is wrong
- The update can create delivery expectations or disclose confidential plans. That risk sets the level of review and the person who should receive an exception.
- 6Human review
- product and communications leaders should inspect, change, reject or stop the result. The reviewer needs the source material and must be able to reject the output before it takes effect.
Possible policy routes
The task name alone cannot decide it.
A published workplace policy can return different answers for the same task. These are the practical branches worth encoding.
A routine policy route may be possible
The company can consider a standard route where the exact account is approved, only the minimum confidential product strategy is used, a customer-facing roadmap post remains within the stated purpose, and product and communications leaders reviews it before use.
Approval may be required
Send the request for approval if the account or data handling is uncertain, the update can create delivery expectations or disclose confidential plans, or a customer-facing roadmap post reaches people or systems beyond the requester’s authority.
The request may need to stop or change
A stop or redesign route becomes relevant if restricted information would enter an unapproved service, the output would act before product and communications leaders can intervene, or publish only approved commitments and state uncertainty plainly cannot be maintained. Consider less information, a controlled account or a non-AI process.
Request checklist
Questions to ask before using the tool
- 01

- 02
Does the proposed input include more of approved roadmap decisions and release confidence than the result actually requires?
- 03
Who receives a customer-facing roadmap post, and what will they do with it?
- 04
Will product and communications leaders review before the result is sent, published or acted upon?
- 05
Does the intended use extend beyond the region and audience covered by the current policy?

Questions people ask
About this AI use
Is using AI to write a public product roadmap update automatically allowed?
Permission depends on the facts submitted for this request. A different tool, information class, region or use of a customer-facing roadmap post can produce another route.
How specific should the workplace AI request be?
Describe a customer-facing roadmap post, identify approved roadmap decisions and release confidence, name the exact tool and account, explain who will receive or rely on the output, and state how product and communications leaders will review it.
What belongs in the completed policy record?
Preserve who accepted a customer-facing roadmap post, when they did so and which rule version they applied. A classification and controlled reference may be enough when copying approved roadmap decisions and release confidence would create unnecessary risk.
