Quick summary

This tutorial shows you how to create a product roadmap in Coda by setting up a table with custom fields, then adding timeline and calendar views to keep your entire team aligned on features, priorities, and release dates.

Steps

1. Click + Blank Doc to start your product roadmap from scratch.
2. Give your roadmap a clear, descriptive name so your team can easily find it.
3. Click the + icon to add your first element to the document.
4. Type /table and select Table to create the foundation for your product roadmap.

6. Set up custom fields that reflect your specific product development workflow and priorities.
7. Type /timeline and select Timeline view to visualize your roadmap chronologically.
8. Choose your previously created table as the data source for your timeline view.

11. Type /calendar and select Calendar view to get a month-by-month perspective of your roadmap.
12. Link your existing roadmap table to the calendar view — no need to enter your data twice.
13. Define the Start date and End date fields to see your features and releases plotted directly on the calendar.
14. Your product roadmap is complete — with table, timeline, and calendar views keeping everyone aligned on what's being built and when.
