Execution Roadmaps

The roadmap your team actually executes from.

Auto-generate the execution roadmap per blueprint — phase lanes, dependencies, and a definition-of-done per task. Generated once, edited freely, exported to wherever your team lives.

The job

A blueprint without a roadmap is a Google Doc. A roadmap without a blueprint is a wishlist.

Founders spend weeks turning blueprints into Linear tickets, getting DoD wrong, and missing dependencies. Execution Roadmaps removes that step by generating the board directly from each blueprint — with definition-of-done and dependency arrows already in place.

You bring

  • One or more generated blueprints
  • A team that needs phased delivery, not a vibes list
  • Optional: existing tickets in Linear or Jira you want to align to

Gaplyze creates

  • Three phase lanes (Foundation, Build, Validate) with sequenced tasks
  • A definition-of-done attached to every task
  • Dependency arrows + status chips (Now / Next / Later)

Live preview

The Roadmap Board, with phase lanes and dependencies.

Three lanes, every task with a definition-of-done and a status chip. The dependency badge on a task points to its upstream parent — so the critical path is visible without a Gantt chart.

Phase 1

Foundation

3
  • Lock positioning statement

    Now

    DoD: Positioning copy approved by founder + tested with 3 target buyers

  • Define onboarding wedge

    Now

    DoD: Two-screen wedge prototype clickable in design tool

    depends on P1-T1

  • Set up analytics scaffold

    Next

    DoD: Activation + retention events firing in dev

Phase 2

Build

2
  • Ship the onboarding wedge

    Next

    DoD: Wedge live in prod behind a feature flag; 10 internal users completed

    depends on P1-T2

  • Implement core retention loop

    Later

    DoD: Loop trigger fires for 90% of activated users; metric visible in dashboard

    depends on P2-T1

Phase 3

Validate

3
  • Run wedge-to-activation cohort study

    Later

    DoD: Cohort report with 30-day activation rate per acquisition channel

    depends on P2-T1

  • Pricing willingness-to-pay test

    Later

    DoD: Three pricing variants tested with 50+ qualified buyers; preferred tier identified

  • Kill / commit decision review

    Later

    DoD: Founder + team sign-off on continue / pivot / kill with documented criteria

    depends on P3-T1

FAQ

Roadmap questions answered.

What does an execution roadmap actually look like?

Three phase lanes (Foundation, Build, Validate) with task cards inside each lane. Every task carries a title, a definition-of-done, a phase chip, and dependency arrows linking it back to whatever blueprint produced it. No timelines you'll never hit — just sequence and DoD.

Why a definition-of-done per task?

Without DoD, a task is a wish. With DoD, your team knows when the task is shippable — which means the roadmap stops being a vibes-based to-do list and starts being a contract. Gaplyze emits DoD for every task because the blueprint already encodes the deliverable.

How are dependencies surfaced?

Each task carries an explicit upstream-task reference. The board shows the dependency as an arrow between cards; the export shows it as a parent-task ID. You can spot the critical path without a Gantt chart.

Can I edit the roadmap manually after it's generated?

Yes. Auto-generation gives you the first pass; you keep edit control on every task, DoD, dependency, and phase assignment. Manual edits are preserved when you regenerate — only untouched tasks are re-derived.

What happens when a blueprint changes?

Regenerating the roadmap picks up the blueprint diff and applies it to the affected tasks. Untouched tasks stay put; tasks the blueprint dropped get archived (not deleted); new tasks slot into the appropriate phase. You always see what changed before you accept the update.

Can I export to Linear or Jira?

Roadmaps export as Markdown and structured JSON — the JSON is shaped so it maps cleanly into Linear, Jira, Notion, or any other tool that accepts a task list with dependencies and a definition-of-done.

Stop turning blueprints into tickets by hand.

Auto-generated phase lanes, definition-of-done per task, dependency arrows. The board your team executes from — without the weekend spent in Linear.
