What is Now / Next / Later Roadmap?
A three-horizon roadmap format that signals confidence and timing without committing to specific calendar dates.
Now / Next / Later replaces date-driven roadmaps with confidence-driven ones. 'Now' is in flight and committed. 'Next' is the most likely follow-up but still moveable. 'Later' is the strategic intent, directional, not committed. The format protects teams from spurious precision while keeping stakeholders aligned on sequence. It's the default roadmap format in modern product orgs because it survives reprioritization without re-formatting.
