A planning mode in RoadmapHero defines how tickets are organized and managed through each phase of the product design cycle (from discovery to delivery).
It reflects your team's operational organization by adapting to their specific working methods. Each planning mode provides a unique structure to coordinate workflows, optimize productivity, and align resources with project objectives.
In RoadmapHero, you can choose from several planning modes to structure your project workflow. Each mode applies to an entire phase, allowing you to customize your approach based on the needs of each stage.
Continuous (Kanban)
This mode is based on a continuous and flexible workflow, ideal for teams that require adaptive management without rigid deadlines. Tasks are planned as they progress. This method promotes continuous improvement and quick delivery. RoadmapHero will plan the most important tickets first, by task, according to your team's actual availability and constraints.
Flexible sprints (Scrumban)
This mode combines Kanban's flexibility with the structure of sprints. It allows teams to benefit from planning in consistent iterations while remaining adaptable in iteration lengths. RoadmapHero will create sprints of variable duration and appropriate consistency without you having to do it.
Strict sprints (Sprints)
This mode is based on fixed, well-defined iterations. Tasks are planned in specific time blocks, usually from 1 to 4 weeks (you choose). This method is ideal for teams seeking to maintain strict discipline and a constant delivery pace. RoadmapHero will create sprints of the duration you have defined and establish sprint consistency with all associated tickets for all tasks in the phase, without you having to do it.
Choosing a planning mode per phase allows you to adapt to your teams' different work dynamics. Each "team," whether product managers, developers, or testers, may have distinct working methods. By adjusting the planning mode for each phase, you optimize each group's collaboration and efficiency by respecting the processes that suit them best.
Changing the planning mode in RoadmapHero is simple and allows you to simulate different configurations to optimize your organization. Here's how:
