What is Now / Next / Later?

The Now / Next / Later format is a low-commitment way to communicate a roadmap by time horizon instead of hard dates — perfect for a public roadmap that stays honest.

How to read your result

  • Now: in progress or starting immediately.
  • Next: the near-term queue, roughly a quarter out.
  • Later: directional bets you're not committing to yet.
  • Avoiding dates keeps expectations realistic as priorities shift.

Frequently asked questions
