Roadmap

The Roadmap page pulls issues from your connected Linear workspace and organizes them by product function. It gives you a function-level view of what your team is actively building, mapped to the same six functions used in scoring: Strategy, Design, Development, Operations, GTM, and Intelligence. Navigate to Roadmap from the main navigation.

​
What it shows

The roadmap is not a separate planning tool it reads your existing Linear data and surfaces it through the product operations lens. Each issue is classified into a function based on labels, project names, and title patterns.
ColumnWhat it includes
StrategyPositioning work, competitive analysis, roadmap decisions, market research
DesignUX design, research, prototyping, design system work
DevelopmentEngineering, architecture, infrastructure, and shipping work
OperationsAnalytics, customer signals, data pipelines, feedback processes
GTMLaunch planning, messaging, growth experiments, pricing work
IntelligenceAI experiments, model work, eval frameworks, cost optimization

​
Connecting Linear

The roadmap requires a connected Linear workspace. If you have not connected Linear yet:
1

Go to Sources

Navigate to Sources from the main navigation.
2

Connect Linear

Click Connect next to Linear and authorize via OAuth.
3

Select workspace

Choose which Linear team to sync. Issues are pulled on the next sync cycle (or immediately via Sync now).
The roadmap view currently pulls from Linear. Dacard supports 54 integration providers for scoring signals, but the roadmap’s function-level issue classification is built on Linear’s label and project system. Connect Linear from the Sources page to populate your roadmap.

​
Issue classification

Issues are classified into functions automatically using a combination of:
  • Linear labels labels matching function names (e.g., “design”, “gtm”, “infrastructure”) are mapped directly
  • Project names Linear projects named after functions are classified accordingly
  • Title patterns common patterns like “research:”, “launch:”, “fix:” are used as signals
Issues that cannot be classified appear in an Unclassified column.
To improve classification accuracy, add Linear labels that match the six function names. Dacard reads these automatically on every sync.

​
Using the roadmap alongside scores

The roadmap is most useful when read alongside your scoring report. If your Design function scores low, check the Design column for active work are there enough research and UX issues in progress? If the Intelligence column is empty, that signals a gap in AI experiment investment.
