Slicewise keeps your product roadmap where your site already is. Write each piece of work as a user story, map the stories to your user’s journey, and order the work on a Kanban board that tells you what a move breaks before you accept it.

Write stories, not tickets. Every story reads “As a [user], I want [goal] so that [benefit]”, with acceptance criteria you tick off as each one is verified. Group stories into features when it helps you see progress.

See the whole journey. The user story map (after Jeff Patton’s method) puts your user’s journey across the top and the stories under each step, one band per release. A step with nothing planned is marked as a gap.

Re-order with confidence. Drag cards, or use the Top and Move buttons. If a story needs another one first, or a move changes target months or goes over a column’s work-in-progress limit, Slicewise shows you what changes and lets you accept or revert. Every move can be undone for 10 seconds.

Shared by the team. The board order is saved for everyone with access, and a stale tab can’t overwrite newer moves.
