Now Next Later Roadmap

A Now Next Later Roadmap is a time-based prioritization framework that organizes product initiatives into three sequential phases: immediate delivery (Now), near-term planning (Next), and future strategic direction (Later). Product managers use this approach to communicate release timelines, manage stakeholder expectations, and maintain flexibility in planning as business conditions and customer needs evolve. It enables teams to focus development efforts on validated priorities while keeping longer-term vision visible and adjustable.

Now Next Later Roadmap sits under Product Roadmapping in the Product & Program Management domain of the Luminid skills catalogue.
