Your roadmap starts
in someone else's doc.
Roadmap Flow Check is a free Chrome and Edge extension that turns planning content you already have open (a Jira board, a Confluence page, a Notion doc, a Slack thread, an Azure DevOps backlog) into a checked, import-ready start for your roadmap. It runs entirely on your machine and never uploads what it reads.
Free on every plan: Free, Pro, and Team. Works in Chrome and Edge. No account, no sign-in, nothing uploaded.
Capture, check, import
Three steps between a planning doc and a roadmap you can present. Nothing is read until you ask for it.
1. Capture what you choose
Click the extension and pick an action. It reads nothing before that.
- Check selected text
- Scan visible page
- Paste planning notes
- Import a CSV
2. See everything it found, and fix it
Every item it read out of the page, with the words it came from, an editable title, and a label for anything it is missing. Judged item by item, and graded 0–100: Strong (80+), Partial (50–79), or Weak (under 50).
- Each item judged on its own words, not the whole page
- Missing outcome, owner, status, or target, named per item
- Menus and sidebars left out, counted, and inspectable
- Reports gaps only, never invents content
3. Bring it into Roadmap Flow
Copy what you kept, paste it into Roadmap Flow, and confirm before anything is added.
- Copy and paste, or save a
.roadmapflow-check.jsonfile or CSV - The same list again in the app, with the same labels
- Choose the roadmap, workstream, and owner team
- Appends only, never overwrites your workspace
Why it helps
Roadmap items rarely start life in a roadmap tool. They start in a strategy doc, a backlog, or a thread. Capture them there instead of retyping them later.
The readiness score tells you what a stakeholder will ask about (missing owner, no target, an unresolved decision) while you can still go and find the answer.
Notion, Confluence and Slack have no direct import path into Roadmap Flow, and a capture reads all three. A Google Doc draws its text as a picture, so paste from it instead — the extension tells you so when you open it there.
Every imported item keeps its source link and capture notes, so you can always answer "where did this come from?"
Capturing, scoring, and exporting all run locally. There is no account, no sign-in, and no upload of anything it reads.
What it is not
It is a one-time capture, not a connection.
There is no sync, no write-back to the source tool, no API integration, no cloud processing, and no AI writing your roadmap for you. Import it once, then the roadmap is yours.
It is not a backlog migration tool.
Capture a focused selection, not a whole backlog page. It deliberately warns you when one capture exceeds 25 candidates. For a structured bulk import with column mapping, use Items → Import in the desktop app and pick Jira or Azure DevOps (Team).
The score grades the capture, not your strategy.
A Weak score means the notes are missing information a roadmap needs, not that the plan is bad.
How to use it
About three minutes from a planning page to roadmap items.
In your browser
- Install Roadmap Flow Check from the Chrome Web Store and pin it to your toolbar. In Edge, open the same listing and allow extensions from other stores when prompted.
- Open the planning page you want to capture from.
- Select the part you care about if the page is long, or scan the whole page.
- Click the extension and choose Check the selected text.
- Read the list. Untick what does not belong, fix a title, and look at what each item is missing.
- Click Copy for Roadmap Flow. Closing the popup does not lose your review.
In Roadmap Flow desktop
- Open Items → Import and choose Roadmap Flow Check.
- Paste it in, or open a saved file. Nothing changes until you confirm.
- Check the list once more and untick anything you have changed your mind about.
- Choose the destination roadmap, workstream, and owner team.
- Append. Your existing items are untouched, and each new item keeps its source link.
Good moments to reach for it
- Pulling three or four initiatives out of a long strategy doc.
- A fast readiness read on rough notes before a drafting session.
- Capturing from a tool Roadmap Flow does not import directly.

Free on every plan.
Roadmap Flow Check works with Free, Pro, and Team, and so does importing its packages. It is how you get a roadmap started, not a paid add-on.
