Quick summary of Roadmap
Roadmap gives you a visual, simple way to view status across tasks, projects, portfolios, or programs. You can see all your current projects types, such as Project Online and Azure Boards, in one place, and easily edit and filter only on the tasks, milestones, and phases you want to see. Using highly visual timelines, Roadmap can help you and other decision makers quickly understand what’s on track and what’s falling behind.

If you don’t see Roadmap in Home, ask your admin team to switch it “on,” which they can do from their Microsoft 365 admin center (see screenshot below).

The first capability of the new Project service

As the beginning of the next chapter of Project, Roadmap is the first capability to roll out for the new Project service. Initially announced at Ignite 2018 last September, Project service is being built on the Microsoft Power platform, a robust solution that combines a host of Microsoft products—Office 365, Dynamics 365, Azure DevOps, Power BI, PowerApps, and Flow—into a single, data-connected solution. The new service will launch later this year.
Roadmap itself is built on Flow, which you can read more about in the “FAQ” section below.
