## Overview

Squad Roadmap transforms your strategy into an actionable delivery plan. Using a kanban board layout, you can visualize and organize solutions across different stages — from goals through to delivery — giving your team a clear picture of what's planned and what's in progress.

<Info>
  Your roadmap automatically syncs with your Strategy Map, ensuring every solution traces back to opportunities and goals.

## Roadmap interface

### Kanban board

The roadmap is organized as a kanban board with four columns:

| Column    | Purpose                                                                                                                              |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Goals** | Your strategic goals with progress indicators and metrics. Each goal card shows an "Add metric" button to track measurable outcomes. |
| **Now**   | Solutions actively being worked on right now.                                                                                        |
| **Next**  | Solutions queued up and ready to start soon.                                                                                         |
| **Later** | Solutions planned for the future but not yet prioritized for immediate work.                                                         |

Drag solution cards between columns to update their stage as work progresses. Each solution card displays a status badge (e.g., "New") so you can see its state at a glance.

### Tabs

The roadmap has two tabs:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Current">
    **Active roadmap** — Your kanban board showing all in-flight and planned work across the Goals, Now, Next, and Later columns.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Resolved">
    **Completed work** — Solutions that have been shipped or resolved. Track what you've delivered and review outcomes.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Controls

The top control bar provides quick actions:

* **"+ New Solution"** (purple button) — Create a new solution and add it to the board
* **"Export"** — Export your roadmap in various formats
* **"Sort: Custom"** — Change how solutions are ordered (custom, impact, effort, etc.)
* **"Filter: All"** — Filter solutions by status, owner, goal, or other criteria

### Prioritization methods

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Manual priority" icon="grip-vertical">
    Drag and drop solutions into your preferred order
  </Card>

  <Card title="Impact score" icon="chart-line">

## Managing solutions

### Roadmap actions

* **Change status** — Click the status badge to update progress
* **Assign owner** — Click the avatar to reassign responsibility
* **View details** — Click anywhere on the card to open the side panel

### Solution details panel

Clicking a solution opens a side panel for deeper work:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Overview">
    * Solution name, description and hypothesis
    * Connected opportunity and goal
    * Status and progress tracking

    <CodeGroup>
      ```text Example: One-Tap Checkout theme={null}
      Solution: Implement one-tap checkout for repeat customers

      Opportunity: Payment friction causes 67% checkout abandonment
      Goal: Increase order completion rate by 15%

      Success Metrics:
      - Checkout completion rate > 85%
      - Time to payment < 10 seconds
      - Payment failures < 2%

      Status: In Development (65% complete)
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="PRD (one-pager)">
    Squad auto-generates a PRD or solution one-pager that you can customize:

    ```markdown theme={null}
    # One-Tap Checkout PRD

    ## Problem Statement
    Repeat customers must re-enter payment details for every order,
    causing 67% checkout abandonment...

    ## Proposed Solution
    Enable returning users to complete purchases with a single tap...

    ## User Stories
    - As a repeat customer, I want to pay with one tap
    - As a user, I want to manage my saved payment methods

    ## Technical Requirements
    - Tokenize and securely store payment methods
    - Integrate with Apple Pay and Google Pay
    - Support multiple saved cards

    ## Success Criteria
    - 85%+ checkout completion for repeat users
    - <10 second checkout flow
    - Zero security incidents
    ```

    <Tip>
      Use Squad's AI to generate initial PRDs based on your opportunity and solution context.
