**The Plane project roadmap is a public Kanban board hosted on** [`plane.sh`](https://github.com/makeplane/plane/blob/main/plane.sh) **that visualizes upcoming features including timeline views, analytics dashboards, and AI-powered pages, synchronized directly with the repository's issue tracker.**

Plane is an open-source project management platform maintained by `makeplane/plane` that centers product roadmaps as a core use case. According to the source code, the platform explicitly supports planning and tracking product roadmaps through dedicated workspace constants and a publicly accessible board. The roadmap operates as a living document, with new features added as labeled issues that automatically reflect on the Kanban view.

## What is the Plane Project Roadmap?

### Roadmap as a Kanban Board

The Plane project roadmap is implemented as a **public Kanban board** hosted on the Plane team's own instance at [`plane.sh`](https://github.com/makeplane/plane/blob/main/plane.sh). The board is accessible via a stable URL pattern (e.g., `https://plane.sh/plane/<board-id>?board=kanban`), allowing stakeholders to view upcoming features without authentication. This URL is embedded in transactional email templates, such as in [`apps/api/templates/emails/notifications/webhook-deactivate.html`](https://github.com/makeplane/plane/blob/main/apps/api/templates/emails/notifications/webhook-deactivate.html), ensuring users can always locate the current roadmap.

### Source Code Evidence

The repository explicitly identifies roadmap management as a primary function. In [`packages/constants/src/workspace.ts`](https://github.com/makeplane/plane/blob/main/packages/constants/src/workspace.ts), "Plan and track product roadmaps" is listed as a top-level use case within the workspace constants at lines 97-99. Additionally, the main README declares Plane as a tool to "manage product roadmaps," reinforcing this focus at lines 27-28. The workspace navigation architecture links directly into the roadmap flow through the constants defined at lines 66-73 in the same file.

## Key Milestones on the Plane Roadmap

The current public board outlines several major initiatives planned for upcoming releases:

- **Product Roadmaps**: Full-featured roadmap views with timeline visualization, dependency tracking, and sharing options.
- **Analytics Dashboard**: Real-time metrics and burn-down charts for monitoring roadmap progress.
- **Pages with AI**: Rich-text documentation and brainstorming tools powered by AI integration.
- **Modules & Cycles**: Modular project breakdown capabilities and sprint-like cycles integrated into the roadmap view.
- **Public Sharing**: One-click publishing functionality allowing stakeholders to view roadmaps without requiring a Plane account.

## How to Access and Integrate the Roadmap

### Embedding the Roadmap Link

To reference the public roadmap within a React application, use the stable URL pattern found in the email templates:

```tsx
import Link from "next/link";

export const RoadmapLink = () => (
  <Link
    href="https://plane.sh/plane/0b170a1c-0e55-47cb-9307-ea49a05672b5?board=kanban"
    target="_blank"
    rel="noopener noreferrer"
  >
    View Plane's public roadmap
  </Link>
);

```

### Fetching Roadmap Items via API

You can retrieve roadmap items programmatically by filtering for the `roadmap` label through the Plane API, as documented in [`apps/api/plane/utils/openapi/README.md`](https://github.com/makeplane/plane/blob/main/apps/api/plane/utils/openapi/README.md):

```ts
import axios from "axios";

async function getRoadmapIssues() {
  const resp = await axios.get(
    "https://app.plane.so/api/v1/issues?labels=roadmap&state=open"
  );
  return resp.data.results; // array of issue objects representing roadmap items
}

```

### Creating Roadmap Items via CLI

Add new features to the roadmap using the CLI, which creates issues tagged with the roadmap label:

```bash
pnpm exec plane-cli issue create \
  --title "Add timeline view to roadmaps" \
  --label roadmap \
  --project <PROJECT_ID>

```

Running this command creates a new issue that automatically appears on the public roadmap board.

## Implementation Details in the Source Code

Several key files define how the Plane project roadmap functions within the architecture:

- **[`packages/constants/src/workspace.ts`](https://github.com/makeplane/plane/blob/main/packages/constants/src/workspace.ts)**: Declares roadmap planning as a primary workspace activity and defines navigation structures linking to roadmap flows.
- **[`apps/api/templates/emails/notifications/webhook-deactivate.html`](https://github.com/makeplane/plane/blob/main/apps/api/templates/emails/notifications/webhook-deactivate.html)**: Contains the public roadmap URL shared with users at lines 158-162.
- **[`apps/web/app/root.tsx`](https://github.com/makeplane/plane/blob/main/apps/web/app/root.tsx) and [`apps/web/app/layout.tsx`](https://github.com/makeplane/plane/blob/main/apps/web/app/layout.tsx)**: Include meta tags describing Plane's roadmap-centric value proposition.
- **[`apps/api/plane/utils/openapi/README.md`](https://github.com/makeplane/plane/blob/main/apps/api/plane/utils/openapi/README.md)**: Documents the API endpoints used to read and write roadmap issues.

## Summary

- The Plane project roadmap is a public Kanban board hosted on [`plane.sh`](https://github.com/makeplane/plane/blob/main/plane.sh) that syncs with GitHub issues labeled "roadmap."
- Upcoming milestones include timeline views, analytics dashboards, AI-powered pages, and public sharing capabilities.
- The roadmap URL is embedded in email templates and accessible via stable deep links.
- Developers can interact with roadmap data through the Plane API or CLI by filtering for the `roadmap` label.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Where can I view the official Plane project roadmap?

The official Plane project roadmap is accessible as a public Kanban board at `https://plane.sh/plane/<board-id>?board=kanban`. This URL is distributed through transactional email templates in the repository and requires no authentication to view.

### How does Plane synchronize its roadmap with issue tracking?

The roadmap board stays synchronized with the repository's issue tracker through automated labeling. When issues are tagged with the `roadmap` label, they automatically appear on the public Kanban board, creating a bidirectional link between development tasks and public feature announcements.

### Can I contribute to the Plane roadmap without a Plane account?

While viewing the roadmap requires no account, contributing features or suggestions currently requires interacting with the GitHub repository or the Plane instance. However, the upcoming **Public Sharing** milestone aims to expand access, and the roadmap itself tracks progress toward more open collaboration features.

### What are the next major features planned for Plane?

According to the current public board, the team is prioritizing a full-featured **Product Roadmaps** view with timeline and dependency tracking, an **Analytics Dashboard** for metrics visualization, **Pages with AI** for intelligent documentation, enhanced **Modules & Cycles** for sprint planning, and improved **Public Sharing** options for external stakeholders.
