An open source product roadmap for project maintainers, OSS-foundation teams, and developer-tool projects communicating priorities to contributors and users. Manage public visibility, triage GitHub issues with AI, and sync milestones in Taskade.
What's Included
- Public Roadmap: Board view of Now / Next / Later — published as a public Genesis app for community visibility
- Issue Triage Agent: AI agent reads incoming GitHub Issues and proposes triage — bug, feature request, good-first-issue, won't-fix, or roadmap candidate
- Contributor Backlog: Good-first-issue, help-wanted, and intermediate-level issues organized for contributor onboarding
- GitHub Milestone Sync: Roadmap themes auto-create GitHub Milestones; issue progress flows back to the roadmap
- Community Voting: Public roadmap items support upvoting from authenticated GitHub users
Why This Template Wins
- Public roadmap drives community: Open source projects with visible roadmaps attract more contributors than projects with no public roadmap. Contributors know what to work on — and feel ownership when their suggestion makes it
- Triage at scale for solo maintainers: A solo maintainer can triage 100+ issues a week with the Issue Triage Agent doing first-pass classification. Without it, issues pile up until the maintainer burns out
- Community votes inform priorities: Public upvoting surfaces what users actually want without maintainer surveys. Combined with implementation effort, makes prioritization data-driven
How to Use
- Clone this template into your Taskade workspace
- Connect your GitHub repo for two-way issue and milestone sync
- Customize roadmap themes for your project's vision
- Train the Issue Triage Agent on past issue triage patterns and your codebase
- Set up automation triggers for issue-triage runs and milestone-completion celebrations
FAQ
Does this work for projects under foundations (CNCF, Apache, etc.)?
Yes. Foundation governance often requires structured roadmap communication. The public roadmap + GitHub sync supports foundation reporting requirements while staying lightweight enough for daily maintainer use.
Can the public roadmap be branded with our project domain?
Yes. Publish on a custom domain (e.g., roadmap.projectname.org). Single sign-on optional for projects that want authenticated voting.
What plan is appropriate for a 100K-star OSS project with 50 maintainers?
Pro ($10/mo annual) handles the maintainer team. Business ($25/mo) adds advanced contributor analytics — recommended for major OSS projects running structured contributor recognition and growth programs.
