Project managers who use visual planning tools deliver 45% more projects on time, according to PMI research. A Gantt chart is the simplest visual — tasks, durations, dependencies, all on one timeline. This Product Roadmap is ready to use today.

What’s inside this Product Roadmap template

• Task bars scaled to actual duration — every task visualised as a bar on the project timeline
• Dependency indicators — linked tasks shown side by side so bottlenecks are visible before they occur
• Milestone markers — key dates flagged on the timeline for delivery, review, or sign-off
• Progress shading — completed portions of each task bar fill in automatically as work is logged

How to use this Product Roadmap template

1. Get access to the Gantt template and save a copy to your Drive.
2. List all project tasks in the task column, grouped by phase or workstream.
3. Enter start and end dates for each task — the Gantt bars generate automatically.
4. Assign an owner to each task and mark any dependencies in the notes column.
5. Update progress percentages weekly — the chart reflects changes immediately.

Why Google Sheets for Product Roadmap?

Google Sheets Gantt charts are shareable with one link — clients, contractors, and stakeholders all see the same timeline the moment it updates. No software licence required, no account for them to create.

Frequently asked questions

Does the chart update automatically when I change dates?

Yes. Edit the start or end date of any task and the Gantt bar repositions immediately. No manual chart adjustments required.

Can I show dependencies between tasks?

The template includes a dependency notes column. For visual dependency lines, use the conditional formatting guide in the instructions tab to add connecting markers between linked tasks.

How do I use this for multiple projects?

Duplicate the project tab for each new project. Add a portfolio summary tab that shows the status and completion percentage of all active projects in a single overview.
