Roadmap Flow Check

About

Roadmap Flow Check is the browser companion for Roadmap Flow, the local-first roadmap tool for product managers. It helps you pull planning content from the web into your roadmap cleanly — without copying, pasting, or reformatting by hand.


WHAT PROBLEM DOES IT SOLVE?

Your planning content is scattered. Jira backlogs. Azure DevOps boards. Linear issues. Notion docs. Confluence pages. Google Docs. Slack threads. When it is time to build or update your roadmap, you are toggling between tabs and manually re-entering work that is already described somewhere.

Roadmap Flow Check bridges that gap. It reads what is on the page you are already viewing, checks it for roadmap readiness, and exports a clean package for one-click import into Roadmap Flow.


HOW IT WORKS

1. Open the page
Navigate to any planning source — a Jira board, a Linear project, a Notion page, a Confluence doc, a Google Doc, a Slack thread, or any web page with planning text.

2. Open the extension popup
Click the Roadmap Flow Check icon in your browser toolbar. Nothing has been read yet — the extension waits for you to act.

3. Choose a capture action
Select what you want to capture: the visible items on the page, a text selection, or a paste of plain text. The extension reads only what you asked for, only at that moment.

4. Check readiness locally
Roadmap Flow Check scores each candidate item for roadmap readiness right on your device. It looks for clear titles, assigned owners, target dates, and workstream context — the signals that separate a roadmap-ready item from a vague note. You see a pass/needs-work breakdown before you import anything.

5. Export and import
Save the result as a .roadmapflow-check.json package or a compatible CSV. Open Roadmap Flow, go to Import, and bring in only the items you want — pre-filled with the data the extension extracted.


SUPPORTED SOURCES

Roadmap Flow Check includes dedicated adapters for the tools product managers use most:

• Jira — issue titles, assignees, labels, and sprint context from board or backlog view
• Azure DevOps — work items from boards and backlogs
• Linear — issues, cycles, and project items
• Notion — page content structured as planning items
• Confluence — page and table content
• Google Docs — document text with structure awareness
• Slack — thread content for captured decisions and action items
• Any web page or text selection — the generic adapter works on anything you highlight or paste

You do not need API keys or service integrations. Roadmap Flow Check reads the page as it appears in your browser, the same way you do.


PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Roadmap Flow Check was built to handle planning content that often cannot leave your organization. It takes that seriously.

• No account required. No sign-in, no profile, no cloud sync.
• No data leaves your computer. Page content, captured text, and check results are processed entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to our servers or to any third party.
• No background access. The extension reads a page only when you open the popup and click a capture action. It does not run in the background or monitor your browsing.
• No analytics or tracking. No usage telemetry, no session recording, no third-party analytics.
• No remote code. The extension runs only the code included in the installed package.
• Minimal permissions. activeTab (read the current tab on demand), scripting (inject the capture script after you ask), and downloads (save the file you explicitly requested). No access to all websites, browsing history, cookies, or storage.

Captures exist only in the current popup session. Close the popup and the captured content is gone — nothing is persisted.


THE READINESS CHECK

Each candidate item is scored on:

• Title clarity — named so a stakeholder would understand it without context
• Owner — an assignee or DRI attached
• Target date — a milestone, sprint, or deadline
• Description quality — enough context to scope the item
• Workstream fit — signals which workstream the item belongs to

Items that pass appear as green. Items that need work are flagged with the specific signal missing. You can still export and import flagged items — the check is advisory, not a gate.


CONNECTING TO ROADMAP FLOW

Roadmap Flow Check is a companion to Roadmap Flow, the free desktop roadmap planner for Windows. Roadmap Flow is local-first: your workspace files live on your device, no cloud account required, you own your data.

The export package drops into Roadmap Flow's import panel in one step. Imported items become roadmap cards on your board, timeline, or stream view, with owners, dates, and workstream assignments pre-filled.

Roadmap Flow is available free from the Microsoft Store.


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does this work without Roadmap Flow installed?
Yes. You can capture, check, and export a CSV that works in any spreadsheet or planning tool. The .roadmapflow-check.json package is for Roadmap Flow import, but the CSV is generic.

Does it read every tab automatically?
No. It uses activeTab, not broad host access. It reads a page only when you have the popup open and click a capture action on that specific tab. No background scanning.

Does it work with private Jira, Confluence, or Azure DevOps instances?
Yes, as long as you are logged in and can see the page in your browser. No API keys or admin access needed.

Will it work in Microsoft Edge?
Yes. Built on MV3, it works in any Chromium-based browser including Edge.

Is it free?
Yes. No feature limits, no account, no subscription.
