Roadmap Flow Field Guide
The practical manual for Roadmap Flow — concepts, features, playbooks, and troubleshooting for product managers.
Main flows
Company and team roles
TeamRoadmap Flow has five company roles and three team roles. They are deliberately narrow, and two of the separations are the ones people misread, so they are worth two minutes…
Company, teams and seats
TeamA Roadmap Flow Team plan is bought by a company, not by a team. The company owns the subscription and one pool of licensed seats, and it can contain as many teams as you like.…
Local-first workspaces
FreeRoadmap Flow keeps your roadmap on your computer. This page explains what that means and why it is a deliberate choice.
Roadmap items
FreeA roadmap item is the basic unit of a Roadmap Flow roadmap. Everything on the canvas is an item, or a way of arranging items. This page explains what an item is and how to pick…
Statuses, priority, and confidence
FreeA date on a roadmap tells people when. It does not tell them whether to believe it. Three signals on every item do that work: status, priority, and confidence.
Features
Account — plan and billing
FreeThe Account tab is where you see your current plan, understand what each tier includes, upgrade to Pro or Team, and manage your subscription. It is also the only place in the app…
Milestones
ProA milestone is a saved snapshot of your roadmap at a moment in time. Later, you can compare the roadmap against it and see exactly what moved. Milestones are a Pro feature.
Brand kit
ProThe brand kit puts your company's identity on stakeholder exports — name, logos, three brand colors, footer, and a confidentiality label. It is a Pro feature.
Canvas
FreeThe canvas is the heart of Roadmap Flow. It is the roadmap itself, drawn the way an audience will see it, and it stays visible no matter which tab you are in.
Check — roadmap health
FreeThe Check tab grades your roadmap and lists exactly what is wrong with it, before a stakeholder does it for you.
Administrators
TeamThe Administrators page answers one question quickly: who can do what to this company. It is also the only place ownership can be handed to somebody else.
Audit log
TeamEvery administrative change to your company is recorded: who did it, when, to whom, and what the value was before and after. The audit log is where you read it back.
The company console
TeamThe company console at roadmap-flow.com/company is where a Team company is administered: people, teams, seats, billing, invitations, audit and settings. It runs in your browser,…
Invitations
TeamAn invitation is a per-person link that lets one named address join your company with a role and teams you chose in advance. The Invitations page is where you watch them, resend…
People
TeamThe People page is the roster of everyone in your company: their role, whether they hold a licensed seat, which teams they are on, and when they were last active. It is also where…
Seats and billing
TeamSeats and billing is where the purchased seat quantity, the subscription and the invoices live. Stripe is the source of truth for money; this page is the safe front door to it.
Company settings
TeamCompany settings holds the five things about your company that are neither a person nor an invoice: its name, its billing contact, its default team, its seat policy and its…
Teams
TeamTeams group the people in your company. They share the company's seat pool, they never have their own subscription, and putting somebody on another team never costs another seat.
Config — workspace setup
FreeThe Config tab is where you set up the structure a roadmap needs before it can be read clearly: workstreams, owner teams, statuses, and branding.
Export presets
FreeAn export preset decides which sections a stakeholder export contains. The built-in presets are free; saving your own custom presets is a Pro feature.
Tell the dev team
FreeTell the dev team is the built-in way to report a bug, request a feature, or send a note without leaving Roadmap Flow.
Items
FreeThe Items tab is the roadmap as a working list — searchable, sortable, groupable, and filterable. It is the fastest way to find and triage items.
Progress
FreeThe Progress tab answers a question that is hard to answer from memory: what changed on this roadmap, and when.
Roadmap Flow Check — the browser companion
FreeRoadmap Flow Check is a small Chrome and Edge extension that helps you turn planning content you already have open in the browser — a Jira board, a Confluence page, a Notion doc,…
Saved views
ProA saved view stores a combination of filters, layout, and detail level so you can return to exactly that framing in one click. Saved views are a Pro feature.
Share — exports and transfer
FreeThe Share tab is how a roadmap leaves Roadmap Flow — as a stakeholder-ready file, as a package for another Roadmap Flow user, or as a backup.
Team workspace coordination
TeamTeam workspace coordination helps a group use one shared Roadmap Flow folder without turning Roadmap Flow into a cloud project-management system. It is the best next product…
Playbooks
Capturing planning notes with Roadmap Flow Check
FreeThis playbook turns scattered planning content in your browser into a small, checked set of roadmap items — without retyping and without uploading anything. It uses the free…
Changing your seat count safely
FreeAdding seats is a one-field change. Reducing them has an order of operations, and Roadmap Flow will refuse the change if you get it wrong — deliberately, so nobody loses access…
Running an executive update
FreeThis playbook prepares a short, credible roadmap update for a leadership audience.
Your first roadmap in 15 minutes
FreeThis playbook takes you from an empty workspace to a roadmap you could show someone. It follows the five-step spine end to end.
Handing the company to someone else
FreeEvery Roadmap Flow company has exactly one owner. Transferring ownership is a single deliberate action, and it is the only way to change who holds it.
Importing items from Jira or Azure DevOps
FreeThis playbook walks you through exporting your backlog from Jira or Azure DevOps and bringing it into Roadmap Flow as roadmap items. The import is one-time and append-only — it…
Invitations or join codes
FreeRoadmap Flow has two ways into a company, and they are not interchangeable. This page is the one-screen decision.
Inviting your first ten people
FreeGetting ten people into a new company takes about fifteen minutes if you set the teams up first, and considerably longer if you do not.
Getting into the company console
FreeThree routes lead to the company console. One of them does not work yet, so this page tells you which door to use and what to expect behind it.
Roadmap health review
FreeThis playbook is a focused pass to raise the quality of a roadmap before it goes in front of anyone.
Producing a stakeholder export
FreeThis playbook turns the roadmap on your screen into a file that is ready to send.
What a member sees, and what they do not
FreeIf you are not an administrator, the company console still lets you in — it just does not let you far in. This page says exactly how far, so nobody mistakes a role boundary for a…
