Roadmap Planner was designed as an ultimate app for creating informative and compelling roadmaps. The roadmap is a neat tool for when you want to outline the whole project at once, as a whole. It is a perfect middle-ground between high-level mind maps (roadmap is more detailed and interconnected) and nuanced sprints/Kanban task management (roadmap doesn’t get into nitty-gritty details as much). 

Roadmap allows you to retain the bird’s eye view of your whole project, with all its interdependencies and involved departments and elements. This tool is best used for long-term strategic planning and visualizing your goals and tasks on a timeline. And now, with Roadmap Planner getting integrated into Goals by KeepSolid, all users of the latter can start making their own roadmaps for free! 

How to use roadmaps in Goals by KeepSolid

You can use roadmaps to see the big picture of your projects, prioritize and schedule tasks with respect to the overarching targets, monitor the progress, and execute all your goals. For this, you will find three types of roadmaps in Goals by KeepSolid:

  1. Targets Roadmap - shows an overview of all your global targets and associated goals
  2. Goals Roadmap - lists all goals related to a specific target and all tasks associated with these goals
