Publish a public roadmap from your monday.com board

A public roadmap is one of the cheapest ways to build trust with customers. It answers the question every product team hears: “Are you actually building what we asked for?”

The hard part is keeping that roadmap honest. Static Notion pages and slide decks go stale within a week. If your planning already lives in monday.com, the better approach is a public roadmap that stays synced with your board.

What a good public roadmap shows

  • Statuses customers understand — Planned, In progress, and Shipped beat internal jargon.
  • Demand signals — vote counts explain why something is prioritized.
  • Freshness — when a PM moves an item on the board, the public page should update without a publishing ritual.
  • Boundaries — not every internal task belongs on a public roadmap. Publish only ideas you are willing to discuss.

How to publish one from monday.com

Start with a feedback board and a status column that maps to customer-facing stages. Then connect a public portal — with Upvotebell, each board gets its own portal and roadmap page. Approved ideas appear grouped by status; moving an item on monday moves it on the public roadmap.

A simple operating cadence works well:

  1. Triage new submissions weekly.
  2. Promote a short list into Planned when you commit.
  3. Move items to In progress when work starts — not when you hope to start.
  4. Ship to Shipped the same day the release goes out.

Close the loop after you ship

A roadmap that never notifies voters is still half-finished. When status changes, tell the people who asked for the feature. That's how a public roadmap becomes retention marketing instead of a brochure.
