Roadmap statuses should communicate confidence and intent, not create accidental promises. A small, well-defined vocabulary is easier for teams to maintain and customers to trust.

Planned

The problem is important enough to schedule, but timing and scope may still change. Describe the intended outcome and avoid false precision.

In progress

The team is actively building the solution. Explain what is being worked on without implying that every detail is final.

Shipped and declined

Shipped items belong in the changelog with a clear customer outcome. Declined items deserve a short explanation so customers understand that the request was considered.
