A roadmap is a promise about order, not about exact days — say which dates are firm.
Open the timeline deck below and place your items.
Deadlines
The rules, with the source
| What | Deadline | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Dates | each item has a start, an end or a milestone date | your plan |
| Lanes | one lane per team or workstream | your teams |
| Status | done, in progress, planned — shown the same way on every slide | your tracker |
A template gives structure; the facts, numbers and pictures are yours to check.
