Likely not a better way to track your pizza delivery (Dominos seems to have that locked down), but why can’t freelancers have the same simplicity for clients and stakeholders? Insert Roadmap Tracker…
One constant in the freelance landscape is the need for clear communication. This often leads to exhaustive email updates and elaborate onboarding processes, all uniquely crafted and managed for each project individually – an extremely time-consuming endeavor. And while these long emails are comprehensive, they can often become cumbersome to follow and lack any sense of interactivity.
That’s when I started contemplating a solution. I needed to create something that could communicate project statuses just as clearly, but in a simpler, more engaging way. That’s when it struck me. What better example is there than the Domino’s Pizza Tracker model. I mean, who doesn’t love tracking their pizza from the oven to their door?
Drawing inspiration from this simplistic yet effective communication tool, I developed Roadmap Tracker. A project tracking tool designed not to replace your existing project management systems but to supplement them, providing a ‘single source of truth’ for your project.
Roadmap Tracker helps you keep everything in one simple place, showcasing the project’s overall progress and status, latest activity, next milestone, and estimated delivery, all without the need to login or create and configure a complicated layer of permissions. Keeping everyone in the loop and ensuring transparency and clarity every step of the way.
Taking it a step further, clients love weekly updates, so we have a feature we call “Weekly Reports”. Think of it as your automated project status update, sent via email to all team members and clients. It highlights any outstanding, pending or assigned tasks, along with their estimated due dates. This way, you’re facilitating a seamless conversation where you naturally have it, via email.
One of the core principles behind Roadmap Tracker is simplicity. It’s designed to be easy to use for everyone involved. Clients can access their project’s roadmap using just their email address for authentication. If there’s nothing to hide, you can even create a public roadmap and share the link, much like how you’d share a document.
We understand that different projects require different levels of privacy. With Roadmap Tracker, you are entirely in control. Much like how you manage permissions for a shared document, you are free to decide who gets to see your project’s roadmap and who doesn’t.
Roadmap Tracker also acts as a repository, providing a space to link to other core project assets and documents, ensuring all necessary resources are easily accessible. For those who need more, we offer the option to upload documents directly to Roadmap Tracker on our pro plan. Never lose a document again!
With Roadmap Tracker, you are not just managing your projects; you are creating a better experience for your clients. You are saving time, ensuring clear communication, and bringing a level of transparency and engagement that’s sure to impress, keep clients and stakeholders complimenting how “on top of it” you are with a clear set of goals and objectives, get started with Roadmap Tracker today!
