Roadmap
What it does
The Roadmap provides a visual, shareable timeline of your planned features and initiatives. Unlike a Jira board (which tracks engineering tasks) or a spreadsheet (which lacks context), the Specky Roadmap links each initiative to its PRD, supporting decisions, and OKRs — so stakeholders can see not just *what* is planned but *why*.
The Roadmap supports three views:
Timeline — a Gantt-style view showing initiatives across quarters
Kanban — a Now / Next / Later board for high-level planning
List — a sortable table for detailed planning and exportWhen to use it
For quarterly planning — lay out initiatives across the quarter and identify conflicts
For stakeholder communication — share a clean, high-level view of what's coming and when
To track progress — mark initiatives as in progress or complete as work ships
To identify scheduling conflicts — spot when too many high-effort initiatives overlap
For board or investor updates — export a clean roadmap viewHow to use it

Q2 2026 Roadmap:
| Initiative | Owner | Dates | Status | Linked PRD |
| ------------ | ------- | ------- | -------- | ------------ |
| Checkout redesign | Sarah | Apr 1–30 | In Progress | PRD-042 |
| API v2 | Marcus | May 1–31 | Planned | PRD-051 |
| Mobile app (iOS) | Priya | Jun 1–30 | Planned | PRD-058 |
The Timeline view immediately shows that API v2 and Mobile app overlap in the last week of May — flagging a potential resource conflict before it becomes a problem.
