Now-Next-Later Roadmap Template

Communicate your priorities over broad timeframes with an emphasis on the near-term. This visualization is ideal for teams operating in fast-changing environments where release dates may be subject to change.

Now-Next-Later Roadmap is good for

Communicating with large audiences (e.g. an All-Hands or Town Hall meeting). Simple, streamlined layout reduces noise and is easy for everyone to understand.
Communicating broad plans without committing your team to specific deadlines.

We do not recommend Now-Next-Later Roadmap for

Communicating with executives. If your audience needs any kind of detail – deadlines, teams, or company objectives, for example, consider an Objectives timeline roadmap.
Communicating within the Product organization. Hopefully, your Product team already understands what’s being worked on now, next and later! Consider a Sprint planning roadmap.
