Free Features & Releases Roadmap Template
A features and releases roadmap covers what’s shipped, what’s being built next, and the product work still under discovery.

A two-sided marketplace launch gets messy fast because buyers and sellers both need a reason to show up, and the hardest risks hide in payments, refunds, and disputes. The Severn Gate - Features & Releases Roadmap gives product teams one place to track that work, so launch gaps don’t get mistaken for “the build is fine” until customers hit edge cases.
The board runs across six columns, with cards that name the actual product pieces: KYC and reviews in Suggested, Stripe Connect flows in Discovery, inventory sync and platform fees in Planned, search and booking in In development, dispute tooling in Pilot, and checkout and payouts in Released. Space Grotesk headings sit over Roboto body text, with a plum base and a brass accent, so stakeholder updates read like a plan instead of a scramble.
- Suggested Holds early feature ideas like vendor verification, reviews, and low-stock notifications, so the backlog stays visible without mixing into committed work.
- Discovery Captures payment-critical investigation like Stripe Connect payouts, refunds, and disputes, with room to turn unknowns into scoped work before building.
- Planned Keeps committed build items like listing creation, imports, fee calculation, and seller profiles together, so the team can sequence them and add dates.
- In development Tracks what’s actively being built, including search, booking availability, and buyer-seller messaging, with owners assigned on the cards.
- Pilot Groups features being trialed, like seller metrics and admin dispute tools, so feedback and fixes don’t get lost before release.
Once the roadmap is in your workspace, you add your own dates and assign the 20 cards to the people doing the work, leaving the columns to show status and order. The same board can run day to day with tasks on each card, so discussions about onboarding and payment edge cases stay tied to the work that ships.
We went from spending hours on every proposal to creating fully customized ones in under 5 minutes. That's not an exaggeration - we timed it.
What is on this board
6 columns carrying 20 cards. Adding it builds the whole thing as a project in your workspace, with every column and card in place.
| Column | What is in it |
|---|---|
Suggested | A starting column for feature ideas like KYC flow, reviews, and inventory alerts. Cards sit here until the team decides what’s worth discovery work.
|
Discovery | A research column for marketplace-critical flows like Stripe Connect payments, refunds, chargebacks, and disputes. The cards define what needs answering before anything gets scoped.
|
Planned | A planning column for committed roadmap items like inventory sync, CSV import, platform fees, and seller storefronts. The cards are where you add owners and your dates before build starts.
|
In development | An active build column covering search, booking and availability, and in-app messaging. The cards show what’s in progress and who’s on it.
|
Pilot | A rollout column for trial features like seller dashboard metrics and dispute resolution tools. The cards stay grouped while the team checks real-world performance and edge cases.
|
Released | A shipped column holding checkout, responsive listings, and automated payout scheduling. The cards land here once the release is out and the work is done.

What happens when you install it
- A project is created with its board, 6 columns and 20 cards already there.
- Nothing carries a due date, because a board holds the order the work runs in rather than a calendar. The dates go on once you know when the job starts.
- Every card opens as a task with its own description, assignee, dates, subtasks and files, and columns are renamed, reordered or deleted like any other.
Who it is for
Product managers, founders, and delivery leads building marketplace platforms or B2B SaaS products where onboarding, payouts, and disputes can make or break launch week.
Questions about this project template
What should a product release roadmap include?
A product release roadmap usually shows what’s already released, what’s in development, and what’s planned next, with enough detail to talk about sequencing. This board does that with columns that move from Suggested through Discovery and build, ending in Released.
How do you plan a two-sided marketplace MVP?
A two-sided marketplace MVP needs the work that makes transactions real, like onboarding and verification, checkout, payouts, and dispute handling. The roadmap keeps those payment and trust flows visible alongside discovery and feature work, so they don’t get buried under UI tasks.
What do you build first so sellers don’t churn right after launch?
Seller churn usually comes from missing onboarding, unclear fees, weak inventory tooling, or delayed payouts. The Planned and Discovery columns keep those seller-critical items like inventory sync, fee calculation, and payout workflows grouped so they can be sequenced deliberately.
How do you handle disputes, refunds, and chargebacks with Stripe Connect?
Disputes, refunds, and chargebacks need a defined workflow and clear ownership because they touch payouts and customer support. The Discovery and Pilot columns in this roadmap keep those flows tracked as first-class work items instead of last-minute support fixes.
How many roadmap columns do you need for a product team?
A roadmap only needs enough columns to show the real states work moves through, from idea to shipped. This template uses six, which keeps “discovery” separate from “planned” and “in development,” so unknowns don’t look like commitments.
Should a roadmap include dates or just status?
Status alone can work when the goal is to show what’s next without promising delivery. This board carries the order of work in columns, and you add your own dates when you’re ready to make timing explicit.
