Product Roadmap and Capacity Plan

Every product roadmap template solves the easy problem. It gives you a grid of quarters and a place to put initiatives, and the grid was never what made the last roadmap fall apart. What fell apart was different. An engineering lead said the plan was twice the team's capacity and nobody had a number to settle it with. Or a directional item came back six months later as something sales had already promised.

This pack derives your capacity instead of asking for it. Delivery History holds what each team actually finished per period, and Capacity Check reads it to compute a low, a median and a best, then divides the quarter's planned load by the median and reports the ratio. Nothing on that sheet comes from a person. Every figure recomputes from the history, which is what lets you put a number in front of an executive and have the conversation be about the plan rather than about your credibility.

The second half is commitment level. Every row in the Initiative Register says whether it is Committed, Planned, Directional or Exploring, what each of those licenses a stakeholder to do, and which decision last changed it. Directional work is excluded from the capacity check on purpose. Levels come down freely and go up only through a named decision, because the failure that costs a team its credibility is not a missed date, it is an intent quietly remembered as a promise.
