When to use it

A team, investors or customers need to know where the product is going, and the last update is out of date.

What your bot will do

  1. 01

    Start from evidence: releases, merged changes, closed issues and the board, for the period since the last update. Read the last update too.

  2. 02

    Write four short sections:

    • Shipped: each with its date and who it is for.
    • In progress: with an honest expected date, or none.
    • Next: the few things chosen, and the one reason for each.
    • Moved: anything that slipped or was dropped, and why.
  3. 03

    Put the customer's benefit first in each line; the feature name second.

  4. 04

    Link every shipped item to its release note or change.

No dates you cannot defend. A roadmap that keeps its promises is worth more than a long one.
