Roadmap Communicator

Create clear roadmap communication artifacts for internal and external stakeholders.

When To Use

Use this skill for:

Building roadmap presentations in different formats
Writing stakeholder updates (board, engineering, customers)
Producing release notes (user-facing and internal)
Generating changelogs from git history
Structuring feature announcements

Roadmap Formats

Now / Next / Later

Best for uncertainty and strategic flexibility.
Communicate direction without false precision.

Timeline roadmap

Best for fixed-date commitments and launch coordination.
Requires active risk and dependency management.

Theme-based roadmap

Best for outcome-led planning and cross-team alignment.
Groups initiatives by problem space or strategic objective.

See references/roadmap-templates.md for templates.

Stakeholder Update Patterns

Board / Executive

Outcome and risk oriented
Focus on progress against strategic goals
Highlight trade-offs and required decisions

Engineering

Scope, dependencies, and sequencing clarity
Status, blockers, and resourcing implications

Customers

Value narrative and timing window
What is available now vs upcoming
Clear expectation setting

See references/communication-templates.md for reusable templates.

Release Notes Guidance

User-Facing Release Notes

Lead with user value, not internal implementation details.
Group by workflows or user jobs.
Include migration/behavior changes explicitly.

Internal Release Notes

Include technical details, operational impact, and known issues.
Capture rollout plan, rollback criteria, and monitoring notes.

Changelog Generation

Use:

python3 scripts/changelog_generator.py --from v1.0.0 --to HEAD

Features:

Reads git log range
Parses conventional commit prefixes
Groups entries by type (feat, fix, chore, etc.)
Outputs markdown or plain text

Feature Announcement Framework

Problem context
What changed
Why it matters
Who benefits most
How to get started

Communication Quality Checklist

Audience-specific framing is explicit.
Outcomes and trade-offs are clear.
Terminology is consistent across artifacts.
Risks and dependencies are not hidden.
Next actions and owners are specified.
