Getting people to understand how useless roadmaps are is the hard part.

Unfortunately most companies don't know any better that it is not the job of a PM to "invent" a whole bunch of features that may or may not work.

If a roadmap is a list of committed features, yeah, it's useless. A roadmap should be a clear articulation of your product vision and the problems to be solved to get there, not what you think today are the solutions.

This is called a "thematic" roadmap or an "outcomes" roadmap. It is well described in this article: https://www.prodpad.com/blog/the-birth-of-the-modern-roadmap...

I am devoting my life to make that happen. People don't understand roadmaps are just false promises you make. Product evolution is dictated by other variables more critical than a single slide with some features proposals.
