Roadmaps

Learn about creating and managing project roadmaps on GitHub

Project Roadmaps

Roadmaps help communicate the planned direction and timeline for your project.

Creating Roadmaps

GitHub doesn't have built-in roadmap functionality, but you can create them using:

  • GitHub Projects: Use timeline or roadmap views
  • Issues and Milestones: Organize by release dates
  • README files: Document high-level plans
  • Discussions: Gather community input

Best Practices

  • Keep it high-level: Focus on major features and releases
  • Be flexible: Plans change, roadmaps should too
  • Communicate clearly: Use simple, understandable language
  • Update regularly: Keep roadmaps current
