Strategic Roadmaps Reviews

- I really like the design and I think it is quite important that the exported roadmaps do look clean and pretty as they are shared with external stakeholders.
- Also like the approach to the work with data, where each item (feature) has many fields (attributes) and you can order/look at your data-set across different fields (per dev teams/software component/ month of realease...). You can also save these views so you can switch between them easily

There is only one single big issue with Roadmunk and thats performance. The JIRA synchronization work well, but if you have projects with lower hundreds of epics (and higher hundreds of stories), you will be forced to make sacrifice and to choose higher level look. They are on it supposedly, so hopefully this will improve

The ability to drag and drop and see a holistic view of the roadmap

There were very few features and functionalities, other companies like Atlassian has better integration and roadmap that integrates with tickets and progress

I like how I can plan my team initiatives and present them easily in different views, different dimensions.

Some technical stuff, like the fact that it need to reload everytime you make a change. I am also missing dependencies a lot in that.

Ease of use, deployment and low threshold to adoption (intuitive interface and features reduce need for training and reasonable user licensing fees)

Need support for additional formats to download and port the roadmaps.

It's not easy to use, seems easy but isn't, a good part is that it looks nice to put it on a business plan or whatever

Well as said the software is not easy to use, and offer one feature, timeline, oh and also something similar to kanban view but not really kanban

Roadmunk is useful for visualizing timelines and milestones for just about any project you decide to use it for, though it's probably best-used for IT purposes.

There can be issues with timeline visualization when going between a spreadsheet with all of your projects, milestones, and dependencies, and translating that to timeline format.

The ease to onboard for a user who has never used the software before is exceptional.

The fact that you have to have precise dates, which creates a sense of false precision among the org

If you're looking for an advanced yet clean tool for creating a ​feature roadmap, this is a great option.

Navigation can be a little challenging and inefficient.

It's easy to add items and drag/drop items to adjust timelines on roadmaps. Creating different views from the same list of items is a time saver.

It's not easy to customize the look of each view, or the columns/headers and sub-headers. Adding items to a view are sometimes immediately filtered out, so you have to hunt the items down and update them to meet the filter criteria so they appear on your roadmap. The software itself if slow to load and almost impossible to edit while sharing your screen in a meeting.

Great visualization features. Very easy to use. Ability to create multiple views. Ability to change display of data on the fly - I've done that several times during a meeting to answer questions from stakeholders.

Ability to document initiatives can be improved.

It is customizable and easy to use. We enjoy very much the exports options, like the URL export.

The date range is always changing. It could be better if we could setup the beginning and end date of all roadmaps by default. For example, the template should be the FY (april to march) and we must show 2 FY in every roadmap. But if a project started in 2015, when we change colors or filters the range gets back to 2015.
Also, the reviewer plans should be more acessible.

the chance to get an kanban or timeline view about indexes I created

that I cant change the color manuel from an item

Roadmunk is fast, does not require any installation of software and supports nearly everything we need in a roadmapping tool. The UI is easy to understand and requires a minimum of training. I also like how new features keep arriving, many of which cover issues we have had.

Sometimes navigation between the diffent panes can be confusing

It's looking very good and are easy to use in workshop

We are working with external customers in Roadmunk.
- Few Users type. Need more (Admin, Read/Write, Read etc)
- We are missing possibility for reviewer (customer) to add items. I.e customer has their own roadmap, they cant add possible items for us to work with together and to include in Roadmunk roadmap. It's wrong process to do it with Ideas.
- Missing possibility to add pictures in Description and comments.
- Sometimes hard to understand the menu when you are in a roadmap and want to go to another.

Crisp views of even the most complex roadmaps with different dimensions to slice by; vibrant color schemes, easily embedding.

Integration with some other tooling (like custom jira farm or custom wiki software) took more time than anticipated.

1. UX is well done
2. customize views

1. be able to copy and paste timeline items so that I don't need recreate them (especially useful for when I have very similar timeline items that need minor tweaks after copying them).

Roadmunk was super easy to use from Day 1. It was easy for me to update my roadmap and make it easily understood to my internal stakeholders. Even better, because it is a web app, I don't have to constantly refresh a PowerPoint that would get lost on someone's drive, or worse -- be shared without my permission. That alone is worth the money. Since a roadmap is a living thing, having it live is way better than trapping it in a presentation.

Sometimes it was buggy and you'd click and nothing happened. Also, when working on a laptop the fonts were small and it wasn't always easy to edit all the info.

Roadmunk has helped us by providing a broad landscape view of all of our products, with the ability to drill down and see the details of each project and its scope. We do not regret purchasing Roadmunk and would not have the concise view of our products needed without it!

No cons to report as far as this planning tool is concerned, we have been happy with the product.

Ease of set up, ease of use, template and colour options,

When I 'add a value' I would like to be able to add external links to them, so that my initiatives link to my external related documents.
