What is a Roadmap?
A roadmap is a long-term plan that shows the steps or milestones that need to be taken to reach a certain goal or vision. It helps you keep track of and manage the progress of a project, new product, or strategic initiative.
In business and project management, roadmaps are often used to show the way forward, make sure everyone is on the same page, and talk about plans and priorities.
In some cases, roadmap excel templates are misunderstood as timelines for a project or product. While there are many similarities between the two, the most important difference is that we do not need any exact dates for roadmaps.

How to use Roadmap Maker Excel Template?
Above all, there are two sections in the roadmap excel template:
- Roadmap
- Settings
So, let’s look at these sections more deeply.
1. Roadmap Section
There are two parts in the roadmap section: a goal table and a roadmap diagram.
Here you can write down your goals, stages, and the responsible department. As you fill out the table or make changes, the roadmap diagram on the left will immediately reflect the changes.
To clarify, it is possible to add goals in this roadmap excel template, by writing them down on the table. Furthermore, the excel template allows you to specify the general length of your goal as well as whether it is an important one or not.
As soon as you mark a goal or task as a milestone, a star will appear next to it and the description will appear in a bold font. So that, you can easily highlight your milestones.
2. Settings Section:
You can customize your roadmap in the settings section of this Excel template. Generally, there are three options available in settings:
- Phases
- Splits
- Time Ranges
Firstly, this roadmap template gives you the option of adding up to 10 phases (time periods). Moreover, you can use any splitting phases that you like, such as Now, Next, and Future. Or you could also break down the year into quarters like Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, or even months and weeks.
Secondly, you can edit the metrics associated with your vertical split, also you can write your options next to your preferred color.
In addition, your roadmap can be organized by phases, each representing a different department and color. As well as vertical phases, there can be horizontal phases, such as Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 and many others.

Wayne –
What is the difference between milestone and goals? Why you used this term?
Someka –
Hi there, We’d be happy to provide more information.
These two terms are quite similar, but there are a few differences. A goal is something that someone, a team, or a company has planned to reach with success within a set amount of time.
Milestones, meanwhile, are key successes that are necessary to reach a goal.
Hope that helps you.
