I typically use whiteboards to keep track of the progress of my development sprints, but neat visualization tools like this can be pretty helpful too. This new startup's product looks kind of like a pretty mix of Trello, Basecamp and (dare I say) Excel. It's probably worth a try for any product/dev people looking to create roadmaps of their projects!

How do you expect to compete in this crowded marketplace at those price points? $25/user minimum? Ouch!

@toobulkeh In our marketplace (compared to Aha/productplan etc), that's actually the cheapest :)

@latifnanji @toobulkeh yeah, that's why I haven't bothered to try any of them. First one to offer reasonable prices is the first one I'll look at.

@jtown_ It sounds like you don't have a large need, which tends to be the case for small startups. Like many products, the bigger your company gets the more likely you're to onboard.

This looks really good, but the pricing is not really sustainable in my opinion. Your target is usually PMs and viewers. Getting a team on this seems unlikely as you only need to create once and adjust. Great start though! How, if you don't mind sharing, did you land on the pricing?

@CedFunches Thanks for the feedback. We are going to introduce a reviewer mode option, that will come in at a much cheaper price point. Our pricing went through many iterations and I'm happy to chat offline exactly how we concluded on it. (hit me up at latif@roadmunk.com)

@roadmunk @latifnanji nice. I'm sure you and your team have gone thru it a bit internally, just curious as I see so many waiting too late to adjust their pricing down into the realm of actual user adoption. :) Would love to chat. I'll email you.

@Yair We currently only support Chrome which allows us to build features at 3x and scale quickly for our users :) In due time we will expand to other browers.

@mimurchison Wanted to try this, but it seems to only support Chrome. Will there be a build for Safari?

Just signed up and appreciated the onboarding experience. One thing I found interesting is that the tutorial demos importing a timeline from a csv file. Is this the dominant use case currently or merely a feature you were looking to highlight?
Latif Nanji
@mimurchison We notice an equal split between different views (Swimlane or Timeline) -- in the 'release roadmap' example via the tutorial, it would have created a swimlane instead of a timeline . Alternatively, if you go the swimlane view, just hit 'plot all items' and you've got yourself a swimlane view... best of both worlds :)

@Ali Yes, we've tried to keep Roadmunk incredibly simple, and your blended analogy is fairly accurate. I would also include PowerPoint since our export capabilities allow you set the dimensions to 4:3 and drop directly into a slide.

I started using it a few days ago and I love it. Simple and clear roadmap are now easy to do. We can now create a good roadmap in minutes and we can see how features can impact the roadmap quickly

Crazy simple and great UI, this is great for one off projects or turning spreadsheet based roadmaps into visual information

Can be used for more than just product roadmapping (ie. internal process, onboarding, etc.)

Pros:

Clean, simple interface. Ability to easily customize labels and tags. Multiple views into same data.

Cons:

Easy to create duplicate entries.
