Now-Next-Later Roadmap

The Now-Next-Later format organizes roadmap work into three horizons instead of exact dates: what you're doing now, what's coming next, and what you're considering later. Confidence and detail decrease as you move outward, which honestly reflects how certainty decays over time. It keeps stakeholders aligned without promising dates you can't guarantee.
