RoadmapOne 4.0: WIP Limits, JIRA Integration, and SAFe Support
The biggest release yet — plan smarter, integrate deeper, and ship with confidence
We’ve been busy. Really busy. Since Release 3.2 , the team has shipped over 250 improvements to RoadmapOne — and today we’re wrapping them all up in version 4.0, our biggest release yet.
From WIP Limits that stop your teams being overloaded, to an enhanced JIRA integration that keeps your roadmap in sync with delivery, to first-class SAFe support — there’s something here for every product and engineering leader.
WIP Limits: Stop Overloading Your Teams
This is the headline feature! If you’ve ever had a roadmap that’s a wishlist, then you already know why it matters .
You can now set a WIP allocation limit on any squad or team. When a squad reaches its limit, RoadmapOne makes it visually obvious — no more accidentally piling five objectives onto a team that can realistically deliver two.
WIP Limits are a cornerstone of lean product development. Research consistently shows that teams juggling too many priorities deliver less, not more. By making limits visible and enforceable at the roadmap level, you can have honest conversations about capacity before the quarter starts — not after it’s too late.
- Set limits per squad — every team is different, and their limits should be too. Double click on squad to set the maximum number of objectives that can be allocated to a WIP.
- Visual indicators — instantly see which squads are at or over capacity
- Better planning conversations — use limits as a forcing function for prioritisation
If you’re only going to try one new feature, make it this one. Your teams will thank you.
JIRA Integration: Your Roadmap, Connected to Delivery
Your roadmap shouldn’t live in isolation from your delivery tools. With RoadmapOne’s enhanced JIRA Cloud integration , you can sync your strategic roadmap directly with your JIRA portfolio.
- Sync objectives and key results to JIRA projects
- External JIRA links — click through from any allocation to the corresponding JIRA story
- Audit trail — full sync history so you always know what changed and when
- Cached project data — fast, responsive UI without hammering the JIRA API
This means your leadership team can work at the roadmap level while your delivery teams work in JIRA — and both views stay in sync. No more “let me check the spreadsheet” moments in your stand-up.
SAFe and Multi-Month Roadmaps
For organisations running the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), we now have first-class SAFe support built right into the roadmap creation workflow. Create PI-aligned roadmaps with the right cadence from day one.
But it doesn’t stop at SAFe. We’ve added support for multi-month roadmaps — whether you plan in monthly, 6-week, or quarterly cycles, RoadmapOne now adapts to your planning rhythm rather than forcing you into a fixed sprint cadence.
These options are available right from the Create Roadmap modal, and we’ve updated the onboarding experience to showcase what’s possible — including teasers for SAFe and quarterly planning modes.
Collapsible Team Hierarchy
As your organisation grows, so does your roadmap grid. Teams within teams within teams can make the grid feel overwhelming. Now you can expand and collapse team hierarchies with a single click.
- Collapse a team to hide all its squads and focus on the big picture
- Expand to drill into a specific area of the organisation
- Nested teams collapse correctly — no more quirky behaviour with deeply nested structures
It’s a small interaction that makes a big difference when you’re presenting to leadership or navigating a large organisation.
Now/Next/Later Grouped by Objective Tag
The Now/Next/Later view is a favourite for communicating your roadmap to stakeholders who don’t need sprint-level detail. We’ve made it even more powerful: you can now group objectives by their tag framework — Run/Grow/Transform, Horizon, or whichever framework you use.
This makes it trivially easy to answer questions like: “What are we doing Next in our Grow initiatives?” — perfect for quarterly planning sessions and board reviews.
Sprint Bulk Actions
Managing WIP capacity across a sprint just got faster. The redesigned Sprint modal now groups all bulk actions together, making it easy to:
- Reduce resourcing across all WIPs in a sprint (e.g., for a company-wide event or holiday period)
- Mark WIPs as unavailable in bulk (e.g., for a firebreak sprint)
No more clicking into each WIP individually — handle it all from one place.
Discovery, Simplified
We’ve streamlined how Discovery activities work. Discovery no longer requires specific dates — instead, it counts as half a sprint in your capacity calculations. This better reflects reality: discovery work runs alongside delivery, and it shouldn’t need the same level of scheduling precision.
This is a subtle but important change that makes your roadmap more honest about how teams actually spend their time.
Under the Hood
We’ve invested heavily in the foundations:
- Security hardened — patched critical server vulnerabilities (including CVE-2025-55182 in React Server Components), upgraded authentication libraries, and added comprehensive security headers
- Real-time collaboration — fixed disconnect/reconnect behaviour when browser tabs are hidden, so you always come back to the latest state
- Performance — reduced duplicate requests on page load, optimised query batching, and cut initial load times. We’ve upgraded everything to the latest versions of all frameworks to make sure that we’re delivering a beautiful customer experience.
- Cloning improvements — WIP comments are now correctly preserved when you clone a roadmap within the same planning year
- Quarter calculations fixed — if your planning year starts in May, Q1 is now correctly May/Jun/Jul (not Jan/Feb/Mar)
- Subscription reliability — billing and quota logic is now more robust, eliminating edge cases with multiple subscriptions
A Cleaner, More Polished Experience
Beyond the headline features, we’ve made dozens of UI refinements:
- Consistent objective ordering inside WIPs
- Improved font sizes and location badge overlays
- Better hamburger menus replacing hover-only interactions
- Cleaner workspace switching
- Improved onboarding flow with better defaults
- Auto-extraction of your name from your email address during sign-up
Version 4.0 represents months of work, hundreds of commits, and a relentless focus on making RoadmapOne the best tool for teams who take roadmap planning seriously.
