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:
- Triage new submissions weekly.
- Promote a short list into Planned when you commit.
- Move items to In progress when work starts — not when you hope to start.
- 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.
