Yes. A kanban board is useless unless it shows the _entire_ workflow from the crazy-idea stage (or maybe before that) all the way into the customers hands (or maybe beyond that). You want to capture the entire "value stream." The point of identifying columns is to eliminate them.
A product roadmap IS NOT a release plan. An 18-month roadmap is a very reasonable thing to ask for or want to put together. People mistakenly make it about the "18 months", but it's actually a request to show you have a vision, a strategy and understand options and trade-offs.

"Queues, lead-times, and Work-In-Process (WIP) are inextricably linked – they are bound together by cause and effect. When there are high levels of WIP, queues are high; when queues are high, lead-times are long." https://t.co/ZvYbbJnrWK #GoldrattUK#tocot#IT#pmot
The Scrum Sprint Forecast as an Expectation https://t.co/7ivZTyQSWX "This again explains why a team that meets its forecast each and every time might be a predictable team but not necessarily a hyper-productive team and for sure not a learning team."
