Three people at a wall roadmap with columns Now, Next, Later and Blocked and swimlanes for discovery, platform migration, onboarding, compliance and experimentation.

CEDX Roadmap · Projects & Delivery

A portfolio that scores
its own slip.

Roadmap holds the whole portfolio — 320 initiatives, 238 active, 1,608 eng-months of open effort — and grades it: 87 initiatives at high slip risk, a portfolio health of 33, and the worst offender named with its lag in percentage points.

The healthiest number on the Overview is the one most tools hide: 106 initiatives at risk or off track, above the 4-week portfolio median. A roadmap that cannot say that sentence is a poster.

What it is

Three things a roadmap owes the people reading it.

Requests arrive as evidence, not anecdote

Fifteen requests in seven days — eight from enterprise accounts — land in the inbox with the asker, segment and channel attached, then auto-cluster into seven themes. Ops efficiency holds four; each theme lists the initiatives it feeds.

  • Segments tagged: enterprise · mid-market · SMB
  • Themes hit: 7, auto-clustered, counts on each
  • Every theme links to the initiatives it scores

Requests arrive as evidence, not anecdote

A ledger, not a slide

320 initiatives as rows: horizon — Now, Next or Later — health, priority, progress, effort, value, theme, owner and target end on every one. The shipped rows stay in the ledger at 100%, so the portfolio has a memory.

  • Ledger and Matrix views of the same rows
  • Effort and value side by side: 9 mo against 78
  • 2127 eng-months across the matching view

A ledger, not a slide

A timeline that caps its own density

Q2–Q4 2026, bar = target window, and the screen admits its own limit: 40 bars shown of 211 after filters — “cap 40 for density.” Progress sits at the end of each bar, and the at-risk count of 67 is a filter, not a footnote.

  • 115 initiatives in the now horizon
  • Progress per bar: 9% to 100% in view
  • The red bars are red — warehouse cutover at 36%

01 — Overview

The portfolio, graded

238 active, 89 in the now horizon, 106 at risk or off track — 30 of them blocked. The health ring reads 33 and the alerts explain it: one initiative slipping at 95% with a 48-point lag, ten teams over 100% capacity, and two P0s near ship with progress ≥ 74%.

  • Delivered vs planned value units, weekly W1–W12
  • By health: 132 on track · 73 at risk · 33 off track · 57 shipped · 25 parked
  • “Do this next” scored from slip × value

02 — Insights

What the field is actually asking for

The inbox: scanners that double-scan on dock reconnect, quotes drifting by cents on EU reverse charge, an audit pack blocking a procurement. Each request maps to a theme, and each theme to the initiatives that would answer it — linked clusters currently zero, feeding value scores, shown honestly.

  • 15 requests · last 7 days · 8 enterprise
  • Ops efficiency: 4 requests · 2 enterprise
  • Quoted verbatim, asker and segment attached

03 — Initiatives

Every row argues for its slot

The ledger is the portfolio's double-entry book: horizon, health, priority and progress against effort and value. An initiative at 100% progress with effort 9 and value 78 shipped; one at effort 12 and value 40 is a different argument — and the table lets you have it.

  • Search across key, title, owner and theme
  • Chips: Now · Next · Later — plus Ledger / Matrix
  • CSV export of the filtered view

04 — Timeline

The target windows, forty at a time

The Gantt-like view caps itself: top 40 of 211 bars for density, with at-risk and now-horizon as filters. Bars read as target windows, progress at the right edge — and the two red bars are the initiatives the overview is already alerting on.

  • On timeline: 211 after filters
  • At risk: 67 — one click from the bars
  • Q2–Q4 2026, bar = target window

Who runs it

Three roles keep a portfolio honest.

Roles, not references. We have no named customers yet, so nobody in these photographs is quoted, credited or claimed as one.

Product manager

Owns the Now / Next / Later calls and can defend each one with effort, value and the requests behind the theme — not with seniority.

now horizon · 89

Engineering leadership

Reads the slip board: 87 initiatives at ≥55% slip risk and ten teams over capacity is a staffing and sequencing conversation, held early.

high slip · 87

Research and insights

Runs the request inbox: fifteen a week, clustered into themes, linked to initiatives so the value score has evidence under it.

How it runs

An initiative's life, in the order it happens.

01

Listen

Requests land from support, sales and customer channels with segment attached, and cluster into themes — seven this week — instead of dying in an inbox.

02

Score

An initiative is written with effort and value. The themes feed the value side, so the score traces back to what the field asked for.

03

Commit

Horizon is a decision: Now, Next or Later, with 89 currently in flight. The ledger keeps the argument — effort 12, value 40 — on the row.

04

Grade

Delivery grades the plan: progress against target window, slip risk, lag in points. The overview reads 33 because the portfolio earned 33.

One record

The plan and the work
are the same record.

A roadmap that floats above the tracker is fiction with good typography. Here the initiative's progress is computed from the work below it.

Questions

Before you pilot Roadmap.

Is the software on this page real?

Yes. Every screenshot is a capture of the running build and you can open the same build at /app/roadmap. It runs on demo data.

Where do the requests in Insights come from?

From the channels the field already uses — support, sales and customer success — each with the asker and segment attached. The demo inbox holds 15 from the last 7 days, 8 of them enterprise, clustered into 7 themes.

How is slip risk scored?

Per initiative, against its target window and progress: the top of the board reads 95% with a 48-point lag on a 10-month effort. 87 initiatives sit at ≥55%, and the score feeds the “Do this next” list weighted by value.

What does the health score of 33 mean?

A risk-adjusted reading of the whole portfolio: 89 initiatives in the now horizon against a risk index of 75%. It is deliberately unflattering when the portfolio is over-committed — that is what it is for.

Does the timeline show everything at once?

No, and it says so: the view caps at 40 bars for density out of 211 after filters, with now-horizon and at-risk as one-click filters. The ledger underneath always carries the full 320.

Is Roadmap audited or certified?

No certification has been issued. What we can evidence about hosting, encryption, tenant isolation and production access is written up on the security page.
