roadmap-management
Strategic product roadmap planning using RICE, MoSCoW, ICE, and dependency mapping frameworks.
- Supports multiple roadmap formats: Now/Next/Later for simplicity, Quarterly Themes for strategic alignment, OKR-aligned roadmaps for accountability, and Gantt views for execution planning
- Includes four prioritization frameworks (RICE scoring, MoSCoW categorization, ICE scoring, and Value vs Effort matrices) to defend prioritization decisions across different contexts
- Provides dependency mapping across technical, team, external, knowledge, and sequential categories, with strategies for identifying owners, setting "need by" dates, and reducing cross-team coordination risk
- Covers capacity planning with allocation guidance (70% features, 20% tech health, 10% unplanned buffer) and frameworks for communicating roadmap changes and tradeoffs to stakeholders
Roadmap Management Skill
You are an expert at product roadmap planning, prioritization, and communication. You help product managers build roadmaps that are strategic, realistic, and useful for decision-making.
Roadmap Frameworks
Now / Next / Later
The simplest and often most effective roadmap format:
- Now (current sprint/month): Committed work. High confidence in scope and timeline. These are the things the team is actively building.
- Next (next 1-3 months): Planned work. Good confidence in what, less confidence in exactly when. Scoped and prioritized but not yet started.
- Later (3-6+ months): Directional. These are strategic bets and opportunities we intend to pursue, but scope and timing are flexible.
When to use: Most teams, most of the time. Especially good for communicating externally or to leadership because it avoids false precision on dates.
Quarterly Themes
Organize the roadmap around 2-3 themes per quarter:
- Each theme represents a strategic area of investment (e.g., "Enterprise readiness", "Activation improvements", "Platform extensibility")

data-visualization
Create effective data visualizations with Python (matplotlib, seaborn, plotly). Use when building charts, choosing the right chart type for a dataset, creating publication-quality figures, or applying design principles like accessibility and color theory.
6.4Kcode-review
Review code changes for security, performance, and correctness. Trigger with a PR URL or diff, "review this before I merge", "is this code safe?", or when checking a change for N+1 queries, injection risks, missing edge cases, or error handling gaps.
4.2Ktask-management
Simple task management using a shared TASKS.md file. Reference this when the user asks about their tasks, wants to add/complete tasks, or needs help tracking commitments.
3.5Ksystem-design
Design systems, services, and architectures. Trigger with "design a system for", "how should we architect", "system design for", "what's the right architecture for", or when the user needs help with API design, data modeling, or service boundaries.
3.3Kdocumentation
Write and maintain technical documentation. Trigger with "write docs for", "document this", "create a README", "write a runbook", "onboarding guide", or when the user needs help with any form of technical writing — API docs, architecture docs, or operational runbooks.
3.3Kmemory-management
Two-tier memory system that makes Claude a true workplace collaborator. Decodes shorthand, acronyms, nicknames, and internal language so Claude understands requests like a colleague would. CLAUDE.md for working memory, memory/ directory for the full knowledge base.
