Product roadmap

What is the product roadmap template?

A product roadmap is a shared source of truth that outlines the vision and progress of a product over time. The product roadmap can help create a shared vision of the next steps, detail new features and goals, and comprehensively illustrate the life cycle of the product.

Benefits of using the product roadmap template

Lucid’s product roadmap template is designed to help you visualize and organize your company’s strategy around your product throughout each stage of its lifecycle. Show the status of epics and their assigned team and plan each quarter according to your team’s capacity using customizable visuals that you can update quickly and easily. Invite stakeholders to collaborate on your product roadmap to promote alignment, get feedback, and assign important action items.

For an even more seamless experience, we recommend airfocus, our product management platform. Build or auto-generate roadmaps that clearly communicate your product vision.
