Roadmap Alignment
Every roadmap has two versions. There is the one in the deck, which says Q3 ships the billing rework. And there is the one in the sprint board, which says the billing rework lost two engineers to an incident three weeks ago and hasn’t moved since. Leadership is planning against the first version. Engineering is living in the second. Nobody is lying — the deck just went stale the day after it was made, and updating it by hand is a job nobody wants.
Skynet closes the gap by reading the sprint board directly. Progress on the roadmap stops being something a PM reconstructs from memory on a Thursday night and becomes something the agent derives from where the work actually is.
How it works
Link the roadmap to the work
Connect your issue tracker and map each roadmap item to the tickets that make it real. From then on, the roadmap has a live source underneath it rather than a status field someone remembers to change.
Catch drift early
The agent watches velocity against the plan. When an item stops moving or an estimate quietly doubles, it says so in the week it happens — not in the retro two months later when the date is already blown.
Draft the honest update
For anything that slipped, the agent writes the revision: what changed, why, what it pushes, and what the new date looks like. You read it, adjust the framing, and approve.
Tell the right people
Once approved, the update goes where each audience lives — the detail to engineering, the dates and trade-offs to leadership. One source, phrased for who is reading it.
Build it from a prompt
Set it up once and let it run every Monday morning before your standing reviews.
The payoff is that people start trusting the roadmap again. When the deck matches the board, leadership stops asking for side-channel status checks and engineering stops being surprised by commitments they never made.
