@marcbc Thanks Marc. We are currently prioritising our work based on feedback we've been receiving in the past couple of weeks. We'll share our roadmap publicly when we are ready.
We are planning to integrate Roadmap with other tools like Trello, Asana, Jira etc to enable users to import their tasks quickly and drop them to Roadmap. We are hoping to release it shortly.
@farzadban @marcbc JIRA integration would be really nice. I don't think I can convince my manager of "yet another" tool to maintain, but if Epics were brought over from the JIRA project it would make things a lot easier.
Nice looking product. I'm a little confused as to what the logo is suppose to be - is the blue part suppose to be a road going into the horizon?
@erickbarron86 It's an abstract R and we like to think of it as a light at the end of the tunnel/road. A sunrise.
Hi Product hunters!
Super excited to finally release Roadmap Beta
Roadmap is a project planning and resource management app for teams. It gives managers a great overview, from the bigger picture and down to the details.
Roadmap comes with a flexible yet simple project planning tool that gives you the ability to plan any type of project by simply drag and drop. It also comes with a powerful scheduling tool which is directly integrated to your projects, making it effortlessly easy to keep your schedules updated as projects and tasks change over time. Unlike task management like Trello, Jira, Github and Asana, Roadmap gives you a complete picture, making it easy for all team members to understand where they are at and what they are working towards.
Alongside this, Roadmap is a producer/project/product manger’s best friends. Not only does it make planning effortlessly easy, it also communicates daily/weekly priorities to the team, notifies you when milestones or deadlines are approaching and pings the manager when someone has too much or too little to work on.
We just released our public beta and have over 1000 teams using Roadmap. Even so, Roadmap is getting strong by the week. Get started on our 14 days free trial and subscribe to our newsletter to be the first one to hear about our awesome, upcoming features.
Just ping me here if you have any question or feedback.
I'm all ears.
Cheers!
@farzadban Looks awesome, congrats! Two quick questions: Can Members make any changes, or does that make them an Admin/Manager? How far out is the Trello integration on your roadmap? Speaking of, it'd be great to see a public Roadmap roadmap. 😁
@imakestrides Thanks, glad you liked it, Kyle. Currently only Admins and managers can make changes, Members can view the project plans and the teams schedules on Roadmap. The trello task import integration is not too far away ;)
And yes, a Public Roadmap roadmap is on the way :) We are just still prioritising work. Once we are ready, we'll share the link on our website 🌞
@farzadban I can recommend this to all those products I'm using and asked about features they say "its coming", but WEHN?! lol
@farzadban any plans for a lower price tier that does not include more than two members? at 10 per month, you could crush the whole mac app market (omni, et al)
Congrats on launch! How would you compare yourself to ProdPad? We use ProdPad for our high level roadmap and idea management and like it, curious to hear what differentiates you?
@nick_neuman Hey Nick, Roadmap is designed to give you a visual overview of all your projects and team members schedules in a simple and flexible timeline view. With Roadmap you are able to view your entire roadmap in a birds eye view, zoom in to view the details and switch to Teams to view your teams members workload.
i had been thinking of building something just like this. glad i didn't, because you nailed it! beautiful product.
Congrats. Looks awesome.
Two questions:
1. Plans start at 19 but does not say what are the limits. I don't see in the website exactly how much it will cost for our company.
2. Do you have task management? Like each member mark when completed, etc.
I can't make me team use Asana and this at the same time. I would replace Asana.
I would also love task status. Like each asigned to a project can write the status of the project and chose a color, red, yellow and green, like in Asana
@ricardopolo Hi Ricardo, thank you for showing interest in Roadmap.
1. Our Beta pricing is based on number of Managers/Admins in your team. We are charging $19 per Admin/Managers with unlimited number of members, projects and all features included.
2. Roadmap currently serves as an overview app for Managers to get a birds eye view of all their projects, milestones with an automated Team scheduling tool. So you can soon import your tasks from Trello or Asana and drop them into Roadmap to get the overview you need to get the most out of your team and see all your work laid out visually to get a better estimates for milestones and deliveries.
That being said, we are moving slowly to implement task management features like completing a phase, creating sub-tasks, commenting, attachment etc which we hope to push live in about a month.
I'm surprised I never saw this earlier, it looks fantastic although it's not for me just yet. One thing I would like to see is an iOS app that syncs with the webapp.
Oh and I thought that "About" page was amusing, just the way you're all looking in the same direction away from camera and looking so serious, and no smiling creates a feeling of tension. Angkhana has the right idea, albeit still no smile!
I love the design and promo, all looks fantastic. I tried the product and a little disappointed. Understand that this is beta, but can you help me to understand how I can mark the time that I spent on any tasks to compare real & plan? Is it possible to create related tasks? One task starts only when the first was finished. What do you think about Team Gantt?
We are using roadmap since it was in beta. I think this is just the beginning what they have launched now. It opens up new product management styles beyond current scrum, kanban in Trello, Asana etc.
@farzadban What are some of the benefits of using Roadmap opposed to using Forecast with Harvest integration?
@victoryn Hey Victory, glad you mentioned Forecast. We were actually using Forecast among some other tools to plan our projects and manage our team schedules. What we found frustrating with Forecast was the functionalities around planning a project.
We wanted a simple tool to plan projects in any size and share it with our team members and other stakeholders to better understand the plan we are taking, how we are prioritising the work and what we are working towards and flexible enough once prioritise change and how that effects the entire roadmap of our projects so we designed Roadmap to scratch our own itch.
In short, Forecast is a simple team scheduling app that lacks the project planning part.
@farzadban Cheers! While it might not be suitable for my org right-now, Roadmap does look very appealing for some upcoming side projects of mine. Are there any plans for JIRA and/or LDAP integration?
@victoryn Happy to hear that Victory. We are starting our integrations with Trello and later Jira and Asana. We aiming to push Trello integration in just 2 weeks and soon after that Jira and Asana.
Hi @farzadban - the product looks great, congrats on your release! Is there a mobile app in the works? I didn't see any mention on the site.
@_kvnw Hi Kevin, happy to hear that. We are currently prioritising features over mobile apps. Once we've made a bit more progress on those, we are going to start working on bringing Roadmap to other platforms like Mac, iOS and Android.
This product looks amazing. Because of my love to plan everything, I think Roadmap will be very useful for me :)
Hi Product Hunters!
I'm happy to introduce you to Roadmap v.1.0 https://www.producthunt.com/post...
After 1,5 year of working with thousands of teams, we are finally ready to show you the new Roadmap. Have a look and join the conversation! See you there ✨
Good luck, the product seems cool! :)
Would you say that Trello/Asana are part of your competitors?
@farzadban @galdubinski why not? Does it make sense to use Roadmap and Trello, or Roadmap and Asana on a daily basis?
@paulodef @galdubinski Currently, Roadmap is only in Beta and focusing on the big picture when it comes to project planning so teams currently use Roadmap to plan their projects and team schedules once or twice a week and let Roadmap to do the follow up with the team when it comes to their daily/weekly priorities or upcoming milestones.
That being said, we have bigger plans for Roadmap so this is just the beginning.
Hi guys, I am using the product and like what I see so far. Are there any plans to integrate project dependencies? Otherwise if one day changes I have to manually move everything.
@sluiceandroid Hi Chad, glad you are using Roadmap. Dependencies is something we are currently working on and hoping to release it in July. Next week are releasing our new Backlog feature. Stay tuned.
Cool idea. It reminds me of MSProject. Does it do resource loading. More importantly, how do you do agile project management? Do it have a Kanban like board and backlog? Good to see something new in this space.
@dbbrandt Hey Dan, Roadmap is a visual project planning tool that automates your team scheduling work so you don't have to do the work twice.
You can simply plan any type of project in any size by just drag and drop to get the birds eye overview of all your projects and quickly get your team schedules to manage their workload.
Roadmap is also super flexible when it comes to adjusting your plans. Once priorities change Roadmap gives you a summary of all the changes by comparing the estimates with the actual times and how the changes reflect on the plan overall, something Kanban boards fail to deliver.
@farzadban Frazad, thanks for the reply. I have been working with different tools for over 20 years. Pretty much all of them. People definitely need to do projects where they estimate the time. In agile projects you only estimate the points (which could loosely translate to time). E.g. 1 = < day, 2 ~ day, 3 ~ 1-3 days etc. You generally only plan a single sprint (e.g. 1 week or 1 month) and put the other tasks in the back log (a prioritized list of todo's). Waterfall projects try to plan the entire thing out. Kanban has it's problems as you point out. It's not good at tracking actual vs. plan. If you plan to integrate with Jira or Trello, I think you need to think about how this could dove tail with an agile approach. I hope this is helpful. For short waterfall projects, this look great. Keep up the good work!!
@van_miranda Hey Van, thanks, great feedback. Definitely something we are going to improve soon once we have rolled out these new features we have in our Upcoming section on our website!
Can I customize when the work starts? , Monday is not when works starts in all companies / countries.
@5orm On Roadmap, you can show/hide weekends in your schedules so you can start your week any day as you wish. That being said, we are currently working on a better solution for this and hoping to release it very soon.
@balupton Definitely, you can sign up to our updates on our website (check footer) and we'll keep you posted with new features like when our Github integrations lands. 📬
Hi Ed, of course you can cancel your subscription :) It's right under the Company menu. We are adding it to the billing overlay as well to make it easier to find.
We couldn't find any message from you on Intercom. Are you sure you sent it?
