Introduction: What are Product Roadmaps? #
In essence, public product Roadmaps keep your users informed on exactly what you have in the works, and when they can expect updates to be delivered. In addition to being an informative tool, PathPro roadmaps also let you continue gathering feedback from your customers as every feature and idea is being developed, as well as providing a platform where customers and team members can communicate in a focused manner. Wanna skip the explanation and start building your roadmap right away? Start by creating your first roadmap here. And don’t forget, you must create your first project before you can add a Roadmap 🙂 Otherwise, read on to discover our full overview of how PathPro’s roadmaps can help you grow your product’s like a true pro.

Core Benefits of PathPro Roadmaps #
PathPro’s Raodmaps offer an interactive experience that informs your customers of what to expect, and keeps your team organized. Here’s a breakdown of the core features:
- In addition to keeping customers informed via timeline based roadmaps, PathPro roadmaps let you keep tasks organized as a fully-fledged project management system.
- Assign team members to tasks, categorize and organize tasks, and set which tasks you share with the public versus the ones you’d like to keep “behind the curtain”.
- You can have both Public and Private Roadmaps, one for the public to keep your users informed of what’s coming next, and one seen only by your internal team.
- Group tasks into logical “Task Groups” to keep releases organized and focused.
- Engage with customers on a per-task basis, keeping feedback and questions organized.
- Bridge the gap between customers and your team and drastically reduce tech support inquiries.
- Customers can continue to upvote any feature you’ve added.
- Customers can add ongoing suggestions to tasks, and upvote other suggestions to provide ongoing feedback to your development team.
- Color code, add icons, and otherwise customize your timelines!
- Give credit to customers who suggested any feature and build brand loyalty like a pro!
- Capture ongoing customer stats based on their interactions with each feature/idea.
- Move completed tasks directly to your release notes, providing a truly interactive experience from start to finish.

Roadmaps are a key component of PathPro’s Golden Pipeline. This pipeline is designed to capture customer feedback, validate ideas, keep customers informed while organizing tasks (that’s where the Roadmap comes in!), and ultimately to release new features in an organized, community-focused manner. Public Roadmaps are included in every one of our plans, with private roadmaps being a feature of our higher tiered plans.
