Regularly Update the Roadmap
The Biggest Problem: Do not abandon your Public Roadmap. A public roadmap should be regularly updated to reflect changes, ensuring the company remains focused on its goals and adapts to changing circumstances. Otherwise, without updates, your public roadmap will serve the opposite role—spurning your users.
Regularly create public ideas from your task tracker's backlog after sprint planning.
Use a consistent format to describe your public ideas (consider using an idea template).
Utilize the AI re-writing feature to publish your backlog item from a task tracker to the Public Roadmap.
Use the Auto-Status update feature to synchronize your public roadmap issues with task tracking.

Trustworthy Experience
Some companies create public roadmaps using tools like Notion or Trello. However, these platforms may not provide enough branding options to make the voting board feel like a natural part of your product. To improve your public roadmap's branding, consider the following:
Embed the public roadmap into your product.
Host the public roadmap on your domain.
Use your corporate colors and logos.
Set your corporate email domain for sending roadmap updates.

Delivery Stages
By default, your public roadmap includes only a few statuses: Under Review, Planned, In Progress, and Done. To improve transparency and manage expectations, you should customize the stages to match your delivery cycle, such as Research, In Beta, Closed Access, Cloud Only, etc. If you have strict deadlines for feature delivery, you can rename your statuses to Q4 23, Q1 24, etc.

Multiple Component Roadmaps for Large Products
If your product is massive, you may sell it in components, have multiple sub-products, or have too many public roadmap items. To manage this complexity, we recommend dividing your roadmap into various parts and assigning each one a separate roadmap. With Ducalis, you can create as many roadmaps as you need.
