Launching the Maplan public roadmap

How we think about transparency, expectations, and sharing what’s coming next with your customers.

Building software in public doesn’t just mean open-sourcing your code. For most product teams, it means inviting customers into the “why” behind what you’re doing — not just dropping changelog updates after the fact.

Maplan exists to make that easier.

With a public roadmap, feedback inbox, ideas board, and changelog all in one place, you can:

  • Set clear expectations about what you’re exploring, building, and shipping.
  • Give customers a single home for updates instead of scattered docs and slides.
  • Tie customer feedback directly to roadmap items and release notes.

Over time, the public roadmap becomes a shared source of truth between product, customer success, and your users — not a static artifact that’s out-of-date as soon as you export it.
