Although the Visor Free plan does not include the Gantt chart view, you can still use the Timeline view to create your project roadmaps for free, either by using Smart Templates or from scratch.
Who is this project roadmap template for?
This project roadmap template is for anyone who needs a fast, easy way to create a versatile and attractive project roadmap. It is most commonly used by project managers and program managers, who need a better, faster way to visualize their existing projects from apps like Jira, Asana, and Salesforce. However, it is also used independently of these apps to create project roadmaps from scratch, or through CSV-based imports.
Visor’s project roadmap template is infinitely more adaptable than other project roadmap templates because it uses AI to create a custom roadmap “template” for you. This means you do not need to spend lots of time adjusting a generic or ill-fitting template to fit your needs.
Can I add milestones to project roadmaps using this AI Smart Template?
Yes, you can easily set specific tasks as milestones in the project roadmap that Visor’s AI Smart Template generates Visor’s. The AI does not set these milestones, instead all you need to do is select the milestone option in the “Display As” dropdown field on your project roadmap.
Can I create multiple project roadmaps using Smart Templates?
Yes, you can easily create multiple project roadmaps using Smart Templates. Just create a new workbook in Visor, and when prompted to select “What is this workbook for?” click the ‘Use Smart Template” button, and let the AI start working with your data and your inputs to create your new project roadmap template for you.
Can I use data from other apps in the project roadmap Smart Template?
Yes, Visor has bi-directional integrations with Jira, Asana, Salesforce, and other apps. This enables you to use your project data from these apps in the Visor project roadmap template. The bi-directional integration keeps Visor in sync with your apps to preserve your single version of the truth and prevent manual updates. You can even import multiple projects to create project portfolio roadmaps. If this is of interest to you, you can also use our portfolio roadmap template.
Besides project roadmap templates, what other templates are available in Visor?
Visor has a wide range of templates, which you can find in our Templates Library.
Templates in Visor are generated by AI based on your responses to a short series of questions, which enable the AI to understand what you are trying to achieve and produce a ready-configured template to suit your needs. This means that you are not limited to the set of templates we offer in our library, as the AI can meet needs that we haven’t listed or even considered.
Why is using a Smart Template for my project roadmap better than a generic project roadmap template?
Smart Templates in Visor are powered by AI, which uses your data, your prompts, and its learnings from thousands of human-created visualizations.
This enables it to produce roadmaps and other visualizations infused with best practices and fully customized to your precise requirements and objectives.
The difference between Smart Templates and regular templates for a project roadmap is akin to the difference between wearing a finely tailored, top-of-the-line suit to an ill-fitting, under-sized, off-the-rack shabby suit and trying to make it fit like the professionally tailored version – it’s possible. Still, it will take you lots of time, effort, trial-and-error, and frustration to get there.
Using Smart Templates for your project roadmap gets you off to the best possible start, saves you hours per roadmap created, and saves you heaps of frustration. It’s a genuine game-changer in your ability to plan and visualize your projects.
How do I access AI-powered Smart Templates in Visor?
When you first log in to Visor, after entering your email address and how you want to use Visor, you will see a screen that asks, “What is this workbook for?” On this screen, there is a “Use Smart Template” button.
If you already have a Visor account, simply click New Workbook from within an existing workbook or Create a new workbook from the workbook list screen. Then when you’re asked “What is this workbook for?” click the “Use Smart Template” button.
What is a project roadmap?
A project roadmap is a method of representing a project plan in a visual format. Project roadmaps typically (but not exclusively) use a Gantt chart or timeline format, which display the different pieces of work that make up the project, organized moving left to right based on their start and end dates.
Project roadmaps can come in other formats, such as Kanban boards, which do not order tasks within the project chronologically, but this is a rarer approach.
Project roadmaps can be very high-level, for example only showing the major tasks or epics in a project, while other project roadmaps can be very detailed, showing subtasks
What is a project roadmap for?
A project roadmap is a visual project management tool that is primarily used to:
Plan projects
Schedule tasks and resources
Share overviews of project plans with stakeholders
Track project progress
Different organizations and project managers use project plans in various ways. Fundamentally a project roadmap is a method of visually representing your project plan chronologically, so that the sequence of your project executables can be easily viewed and understood.
Can I nest tasks and subtasks (or other parent and child relationships) using this project roadmap template?
Yes, project roadmaps in Visor have comprehensive task-nesting support. You can easily nest tasks in your roadmap underneath each other to create parent-child relationships and multi-level task hierarchies.
Nesting tasks in project roadmaps in Visor is easy, comprehensive and flexible. You can nest records below another record using:
Drag-and-drop
Keyboard shortcuts
The record settings drop-down menu
If you import projects from apps like Jira, Asana, or Salesforce, Visor can maintain your nesting in full, so you don’t need to waste time re-nesting your project data.
