Linear public roadmap

How to Create a Public Roadmap with Linear

Use Feedvote as the public roadmap layer for selected Linear work, so customers can follow progress without seeing your internal planning.

Publish selected work
Map statuses to roadmap columns
Keep private Linear issues hidden
Update customers as work ships
quick answer

The simplest path is to keep Linear internal and publish through Feedvote

Create the work in Linear, connect Feedvote, then choose which requests or issues should appear publicly. Feedvote gives customers a roadmap they can understand while your team keeps using Linear for planning and delivery.

step 1

Choose the Linear work customers should see

A public roadmap should show commitment, not every internal thought. Start with the issues, projects, and themes that are useful to customers.

  • Keep internal planning, bugs, and sensitive work private
  • Group public items around customer problems
  • Use Feedvote to decide what earns public visibility

step 2

Connect requests to Linear issues

Roadmaps are more useful when they are tied to real demand. Feedvote connects customer feedback to the Linear work it influenced.

  • Link customer requests to accepted Linear issues
  • Preserve votes and request context
  • Help product and engineering understand why work matters

step 3

Map Linear progress to public roadmap columns

Turn internal delivery status into simple customer-facing labels like planned, in progress, and shipped.

  • Use plain-language roadmap stages
  • Avoid exposing engineering-only workflow details
  • Keep the public roadmap current as Linear changes

step 4

Publish the roadmap on a clean public page

Give customers, prospects, and stakeholders a place to check progress before they ask your team for a status update.

  • Share a public roadmap link in your app, docs, or help center
  • Use branded pages instead of exposing internal tools
  • Show roadmap progress next to related feedback

step 5

Announce shipped Linear work to customers

When a roadmap item ships, Feedvote helps turn that progress into updates customers can actually read.

  • Notify voters when linked work moves forward
  • Publish customer-friendly changelog posts
  • Reduce repeat questions about roadmap status

Feedvote vs a static Linear roadmap workaround

Docs pages and spreadsheets can show a roadmap snapshot. Feedvote keeps the roadmap connected to customer requests and Linear progress.

Static docs page

A docs page is easy to publish, but every status change becomes manual upkeep.

Spreadsheet roadmap

A spreadsheet works internally, but it is not built for customer votes, notifications, or a polished public board.

Public issue tracker

An issue tracker can expose too much implementation detail and can be hard for non-technical customers to scan.

Feedvote publishes the customer-facing version

  • Connect roadmap items to customer feedback
  • Show simple public statuses instead of internal workflows
  • Keep Linear as your private execution system
  • Notify customers when public roadmap items change
