Gantt Chart vs. Roadmap vs. Timeline

Gantt chart, roadmap, and timeline ― three common concepts in project management. But what do these terms really mean?

If you’ve been wondering about the true meaning of these terms and their differences, you’re in the right place.

Agile Planning: Always Plan for a Product, Not a Project!

Planning in Agile involves so much more than a simple checklist.

Today in organizations, we plan and estimate to make effective decisions that help us stay competitive. We engage in this activity to get answers for simple questions like:

  • What needs to be built?
  • When can we complete?
  • How much will this cost?
  • Who needs to do it?

In traditional software delivery, we have been planning and estimating by following a sequential plan-driven approach. As these projects are short-lived once completed, there is no long-term connection between the product and the teams who built it. Also, more of the unfinished work and technical debt is left behind.
