Use Case

Use when a plan needs to show sequence, timing, and maturity over phases.

When to Use

For product roadmaps, transformation plans, launch paths, and strategy execution.

When to Avoid

Avoid for detailed project management where a Gantt-style plan is required.

Block Structure

roadmap

Three phases to scale

Now, next, and later execution path.

  • -Now: prove the workflow
  • -Next: scale the surface
  • -Later: expand the ecosystem

Best Practices

1

Use phases rather than overloaded dates when timing is fluid.

2

Make dependencies visible.

3

Tie each phase to a measurable outcome.
