Product roadmap

A shared roadmap is the cheapest trust you can buy. It says what you are working on, what is next, and what you have heard and not yet done, and it saves you writing the same reply to the same question a hundred times.

On fenbs the roadmap is not a separate document you forget to update. It is the board you already work: To Do is Later, Next Up is Next, In Progress is Now, and Completed is the changelog. Everyone you add sees it live, because it is the actual work.

Add customers and stakeholders with the Client role: they see the board and comment, and cannot change anything. Give the people who report bugs the Reporter role, and what they find lands on the board under their name.

Takes an email address. The tasks land on your own board straight away.

Feature · Enhancement · Bug — color is the kind of task, never its urgency.

Then

  1. Copy the board onto a team board, then rename the tasks to your own features. Keep the lanes as they are: that is what makes it a roadmap.
  2. People → Add someone → choose Client. Everyone you add sees the roadmap as soon as they sign in with that email.
  3. Connect your AI assistant with a role that can move tasks. Ask it to move them as pull requests merge, and the roadmap keeps itself.

Takes an email address. The tasks land on your own board straight away.
