Go swiftly from conceptual planning to an actionable roadmap

Draft your roadmap

Create an initial plan for what you want to deliver and when. Lay out your prioritized feature list on a whiteboard. Use pre-built roadmap templates with an adjustable timeline to shape the path forward. Move features around freely as you determine how to bring your product strategy to life.

Explore different scenarios

Work through options. Use whiteboards to view existing dependencies between features — and identify new ones — to ensure you sequence work correctly. Add milestones to capture important dates (such as conferences, trade shows, and regulatory deadlines) that you need to factor into your plans.

Gather early feedback

Share your whiteboard with the team and other stakeholders. Invite people to leave feedback using inline comments or sticky notes. This helps you catch any items that are missing and make important adjustments — such as delivering certain functionality in time for a big customer opportunity before you go deeper into the planning details.

Add the details

Turn your conceptual roadmap into a structured one in minutes. Work directly from the whiteboard to update feature details — like start and end dates — and convert new items into actual Aha! records. Then, pick the right timeline view to showcase your plans. Easily export your roadmap back to a whiteboard whenever you need to realign on the approach.
