Roadmap

Requests filed where they belong, with the votes kept.

One record per product request: whether it is a new feature or an improvement, which product area it belongs to, which feature it touches, the quarter and the progress. Anyone with read access votes once and comments. The same contract runs in the form and on the server, so a refusal reads the same in both places.

The problem this solves

What goes wrong when this work lives in spreadsheets, documents and one person's memory.

A request filed under the wrong area

It went against the nearest feature name somebody recognised, and it never reached the team that owns it.

A new bet reclassified as a tweak

Naming an existing feature turns a new-feature request into a refinement. The request type is asked first for that reason.

Progress that drifts

Progress is a typed claim, not a measurement, and the revisions show every jump for what it is.

Highlights

Why it matters

The feature list follows the area

Choose the product area and the feature choices narrow to it. Changing the area clears a feature that no longer belongs.

What is missing says so

Unscheduled, or progress not recorded. A card states the gap rather than leaving a blank where a number should be.

A declined request keeps everything

Votes, comments and revisions stay, so the next person to propose it can read why it was declined the first time.

How it works

From an empty record to something you can act on, in the order you do it.

  1. 1

    Choose the request type

    New feature or improvement. An improvement has to name the feature it improves.

  2. 2

    File it against an area

    The product area, then the feature within it, then the quarter and the progress.

  3. 3

    Name an owner before it goes active

    A request without one is refused rather than quietly activated.

  4. 4

    Let the team vote

    One vote per person, toggleable, plus comments. An editor changes the record for it to count.

Honest limits

What this does and does not promise

  • Progress is a number somebody typed. Nothing computes it from the work.

  • Search and the status filter narrow the page you are on, twenty-five records at a time, not the whole collection.
