Roadmap Updating

Roadmap Updating

Purpose

Update roadmap with newly validated PRDs:

• Sequence by timeline and status
• Organize by timeframe (Now/Next/Later)
• Maintain roadmap.md structure
• Create changelog snapshots

When to Use

Activate when:

• User invokes /project:update-roadmap
• After product-planning generates PRDs
• After interactive PRD creation
• Manual roadmap review cycles

Workflow

1. Load PRDs

From:

• datasets/product/backlog.md (latest PRD Intake section)
• datasets/product/prds/{YYYY}/PRD_*.md files

Extract:

• PRD titles
• Status (🚧 Drafting / 🏃 Actionable / 🔒 Closed / ❗ Abandoned)
• Timeline (milestones and expected delivery)

2. Sequence by Timeline

Sort PRDs by:

• Actionable PRDs first (ready for work)
• Then by expected delivery timeline
• Drafting PRDs listed separately (need completion)

Timeframes:

• Now: Actionable PRDs with near-term delivery (this quarter)
• Next: Actionable PRDs with mid-term delivery (next quarter)
• Later: Actionable PRDs with future delivery or Drafting status

3. Update Roadmap Structure

roadmap.md format:

# Product Roadmap

**Last Updated**: YYYY-MM-DD

## Now (This Quarter)
- [ ] PRD 1 Title - 🏃 Actionable - {Expected Delivery}
- [ ] PRD 2 Title - 🏃 Actionable - {Expected Delivery}

## Next (Next Quarter)
- [ ] PRD 3 Title - 🏃 Actionable - {Expected Delivery}
- [ ] PRD 4 Title - 🏃 Actionable - {Expected Delivery}

## Later (Future / Drafting)
- [ ] PRD 5 Title - 🚧 Drafting - {Timeline TBD}
- [ ] PRD 6 Title - 🏃 Actionable - {Expected Delivery Q3+}

## Closed (Completed)
- [x] PRD 7 Title - 🔒 Closed - {Delivered Date}

4. Create Changelog Snapshot

Before updating roadmap.md:

cp datasets/product/roadmap.md datasets/product/snapshots/ROADMAP_{YYYY-MM-DD}.md

Success Criteria

• PRDs sequenced by timeline
• Roadmap.md updated with correct structure
• Changelog snapshot created
• Last Updated timestamp current
