9 free product roadmap templates by type

There are countless types of product roadmap, each with different layouts and elements, and plenty of overlap between them. But it all boils down to whether you'll use your roadmap to:

We’ve organized the following example templates into these two main groups, so you can pick the category that best suits your team’s product goals.

5 agile product roadmap templates

Agile product management requires teams to be flexible and focused on short sprint goals and outcomes so they can adapt to customer feedback and an ever-changing market. 

Agile roadmap templates are generally used to communicate the overall product strategy, rather than to plan the rollout of specific features.

Here are some example templates:

 1. Lucidspark

Lucidspark’s GO (goal-oriented) product roadmap template, designed by agile product management expert Roman Pilcher, maps out key product goals and how they will be achieved.

2. Figma

Figma’s agile product development roadmap template is split into editable ‘workstreams’ that you can use as goals, themes, or scrum teams.

3. Todoist

Todoist’s Kanban product roadmap template has columns for ideas and tasks (to-do, doing, and done).

4. Mural

Mural’s strategy product roadmap template provides a framework to strategically plan how to add user value in different product development stages.

 5. Zapier

Zapier’s product vision roadmap template is an editable PDF that helps teams ideate future opportunities by starting with the product vision and goals.

4 feature and release roadmap templates

Feature and release roadmaps chart the development and release of product features, so templates need to focus more on clear timeframes and feature descriptions. 

Here are some examples:

1. Airtable

Airtable’s product planning roadmap template displays releases as a Gantt chart, board, or calendar.

2. Slite

Slite’s product roadmap template visually maps areas of focus for teams across a timeline.

3. Zapier

Zapier’s Now/Next/Later product roadmap template is an editable PDF that helps teams plan if releases need to be worked on right now, soon, or in the future (note: agile teams sometimes also use this layout—we told you there’s some overlap!).

4. ClickUp

ClickUp’s public roadmap template has three views: doc, list, and timeline, helping you share feature releases publicly.

You’re probably already using a few of the most popular product tools to manage your day-to-day work. The product roadmap templates below are organized by tool to make your life easier—but if you want to try something new, all the product roadmap tools and software in this list have free plans, so you can play around with each template without paying for a subscription.

Some quick ways to make a big impact:

  • Add a Heatmap to see which elements of your product are getting attention and which are getting ignored

  • Start tracking Recordings to find areas of your product that might be causing frustration

  • Create a Survey and ask users what’s working (and missing) from your product

  • Add a Feedback widget to your product pages so your door is always open to user feedback (with annotations!—click the red feedback tab on the right to try it for yourself)
