/pm-roadmap-add

Add prioritized items to a project roadmap with codebase-aware context.

What It Does​

Creates or extends a product roadmap with properly prioritized items. Includes:

  • Codebase context scanning (PRDs, stories, tech stack, TODO counts)
  • Duplication check against existing items
  • Priority assessment using your chosen framework (Value-Effort, MoSCoW, or RICE)
  • Milestone/theme assignment

When no roadmap exists, bootstraps a new one with your chosen prioritization system.

Usage​

/pm-roadmap-add "add user authentication feature"

What It Asks​

QuestionWhy
Which prioritization system?Sets framework (first run only)
What is the expected value/impact?Priority scoring
What is the estimated effort?Priority scoring
What milestone/theme?Groups related items
Who owns this?Accountability
Any dependencies?Blocking relationships

Questions vary by chosen prioritization system.

Example​

Input:

/pm-roadmap-add "real-time notifications"

Preview at HARD STOP:

Item:         Real-time notifications
Priority:     Quick Win (Value-Effort: High value, Low effort)
Milestone:    Q1 2026
Timeframe:    Now
Owner:        Backend Team
Dependencies: None
Status:       To Do

Tips​

  • Provide enough context in your item description for accurate priority assessment
  • Run after /pm-prd-write to add PRD-derived items to the roadmap
  • Use specific descriptions to avoid false duplicate matches
  • Review the codebase context scan results — they inform priority assessment
