| Open | Feedback has been received but not reviewed yet |
| Under Review | Your team is evaluating demand, scope, and fit |
| Planned | The request is accepted and expected to be built |
| In Progress | Work has started |
| Completed | The request has shipped |
| Closed | The request will not be built or is no longer relevant |
Build a roadmap from feedback
Update status and dates
Move accepted work to
Planned or In Progress and add a due date when you are ready to communicate timing.Use due dates responsibly
Due dates help users understand when work may arrive, but they should be used only when your team has enough confidence. Use due dates for:- Committed roadmap work
- Beta launches
- Publicly announced releases
- Time-sensitive bug fixes
Public roadmap hygiene
Review roadmap items on a regular cadence.- Keep
PlannedandIn Progressitems current. - Remove or close stale work that no longer reflects your plan.
- Explain major changes in comments when dates or scope change.
- Publish a changelog entry when completed work ships.
