Roadmap Hero Process Overview

Roadmap Hero addresses the common challenges associated with maintaining clear communication with stakeholders. By transforming your tickets into an up-to-date, comprehensible roadmap, this process streamlines the communication of plans, changes, and deliveries. Stakeholders gain insights into planning, progress, and future directions without the redundancy of outdated slides or repeated explanations.

Step 1

The core issue with traditional roadmaps is that stakeholders often remain unclear about scheduled plans, ongoing changes, or completed deliveries. When roadmaps are shared via slides, they quickly become outdated, leading to wasted weeks of clarification, costly misinformed decisions, and eroded trust.

Step 2

In essence, this results in direct losses of time and money. Roadmap Hero resolves this by turning your tickets into a planned, understandable, shared, and always updated roadmap. Let me demonstrate.

Step 3

Here’s what your stakeholders will see: complete access to the roadmap for upcoming deliveries, the schedule for ongoing tasks, the backlog for identified tasks, and the vision for future directions.

Step 4

At Roadmap Hero, the visibility is customized. Stakeholders see only relevant tickets—sales teams see sales-related topics, the executive committee sees topics pertinent to them.

Step 5

Marketing teams view marketing-specific topics, and operational teams see operational content. This tailored approach ensures the roadmap is actionable and usable for stakeholders. Teams are also notified of any changes, such as new, moved, or adjusted tickets on the roadmap.

Step 6

Each ticket automatically generates a note upon creation, detailing user and business benefits.

Step 7

The note includes a description of the ticket, user benefits, and company advantages. This is generated automatically from the ticket content, with the option to add an illustration. How is all this created?

Step 8

The content is shared through the application interface, email, or tools like Notion.

Step 9

How is it created? It all starts with your existing backlog, often housed in Jira. By connecting Jira, tickets automatically sync with Roadmap Hero.

Step 10

You can organize the ticket hierarchy, link them directly to objectives, and connect them to stakeholders.

Step 11

There is a legacy structure for different types of tickets, visible directly within the system.

Step 12

You can associate tickets with clients and use the Hero Score to prioritize them. The visible stars indicate the impact on stakeholders and objectives.

Step 13

Considering effort and risk, the Hero Score helps in planning and prioritizing tasks.

Step 14

This impact score provides a quick overview of what creates the most significant impact. Next, you proceed to planning.

Step 15

In the planning phase, you can drag and drop topics to align them with relevant subjects, sequence, and organize them over time.

Step 16

You have the freedom to design the best possible roadmap. Changes can be made anytime with a simple drag-and-drop action.

Step 17

You can immediately see the impact.

Step 18

The impact, as measured by the Hero Score, is visible. Any delays or changes are reflected directly, so there's no need for complete rework.

Step 19

The roadmap continuously aligns with delivery as it connects with Jira. Any changes are mirrored directly, maintaining consistent alignment.

Step 20

Your roadmap is instantly visible and shareable at a glance.

Step 21

No additional creation effort is needed. Each team and objective has a personalized view.

Step 22

Every client has a unique view, enabling you to configure stakeholder visibility accurately. For example, sales teams shouldn’t see all tickets.

Step 23

Decide if they should view the roadmap, the schedule, the backlog, or the vision, or only specific products.
