Roadmap and tasks

The Roadmap shows your product plan as a series of sprints. The Tasks page is where day-to-day work lives. The two are separate: the roadmap is generated from your PRD, and tasks are ones you create.

Roadmap#

The Roadmap page appears in the sidebar once your startup has a PRD. Nothing on it is entered by hand. It is derived from the PRD, so to change it you change the PRD, for example by regenerating it.

How sprints are built#

• Each PRD milestone becomes one sprint, in order of its target week.
• A sprint lasts 14 days, and sprints follow one another without gaps. Sprint dates come from their position in the list, not from the milestone's target week; the target week only decides the order.
• Features that are not part of any milestone are collected into a final sprint called Additional Features.
• If the PRD has features but no milestones, everything goes into a single Sprint 1.

What you see#

• A summary bar with the number of sprints, total hours and features, and a Go-Live date, which is the day after the last sprint ends.
• A timeline strip showing each sprint's dates, with a marker for today.
• A card per sprint with its features. Select a feature to see its user story, complexity and estimate.

The sprint start date defaults to the Monday of the current week. Use the Start button above the timeline to pick another date. That date is stored in your browser for this startup, so it is not shared with cofounders or other devices.

Tasks#

Open Tasks under Operate. There are three views, switched from the top right: Board, List and Calendar. The calendar offers month, week and day layouts and places tasks on their deadlines. Above each view sits a strip with your completion rate, tasks completed, tasks in progress and hours tracked.

Create a task#

Choose New Task or press Ctrl or Cmd plus N. A title is required. You can also set:

• Domain: Engineering, Product, Design, Sales, Marketing, Operations, Fundraising, Legal, Hiring, Customer Success, Finance or Other.
• Category: the categories available for the domain you picked.
• Priority: Critical, High, Medium or Low.
• Work type: Strategic, Execution, Maintenance, Communication, Learning or Firefighting.
• Estimated hours, a deadline, a strategic value from 1 to 10 and a description.

New tasks start in To Do.

Statuses#

The board has six columns: Backlog, To Do, In Progress, In Review, Blocked and Completed. Drag a card to another column to change its status, or change it in the task's detail panel. Cancelled is also available in the detail panel's status menu but has no column on the board. Dragging a card into In Progress records a start time, and dragging it into Completed records a completion time. Changing the status from the detail panel does not record these times, so drag cards if you want them.

Filters#

Search by text, and filter by domain and priority. Select Clear to remove the filters.

The detail panel#

Select a task to open its panel. From there you can edit the title and description, change status and priority, and manage a checklist with a progress bar. You can also delete the task. Deleting asks for confirmation and cannot be undone.

Time tracking#

The panel has a timer. Start it when you begin, and select Stop when you finish. FounderSync saves a time entry and adds the time to the task's actual hours. Task cards and the panel compare actual hours with your estimate.

Two limits to know about:

• Pause only freezes the counter on screen. The time saved when you stop is the whole span since you pressed Start.
• The running timer is kept in the open page. If you reload or close the tab before pressing Stop, the session is not saved.

The Analytics page charts task completion over time, workload by founder and domain, and time tracking.

What the web app does not do yet#

The Tasks page has no assignee picker, no comments and no templates. Tasks created in the web app are not assigned to anyone. Task comments, assignees, time logging and task templates are available to a connected AI agent.
