Explain roadmap priorities with Claude
Give Claude your roadmap and the feedback you need from stakeholders. Review ngram’s plan to keep available features, work in progress and tentative ideas distinct, then create the update.

A fictional product roadmap created through Claude from a supplied planning brief. Separate regions distinguish available features, current work, proposed priorities and later ideas.
Prompt
Use the connected ngram tools to prepare a roadmap-priority video for the fictional product Cedar Desk, for its customer advisory group. Keep “Sample roadmap” visible throughout. The source is an illustrative planning brief dated November 2, 2026. Approved sample roadmap: - Goal: help new customers complete their first project with less uncertainty. - Available now: onboarding checklists and CSV export. - In progress: improve the first-project checklist. It is not available yet and has no announced launch date. - Next priority: evaluate team templates after reviewing feedback from the improved checklist. This is a proposed priority, not a delivery commitment. - Later idea: explore a shared reporting dashboard. This is an idea, with no delivery commitment or date. - Dependency: review feedback from the first-project checklist before deciding whether to start team templates. - Feedback request: tell the product team which step in your first project is hardest to understand. Create a 45-second, 16:9 Contour Atlas video with English narration. Keep four distinct states visible: Available now, In progress, Proposed next and Later idea. Show the dependency as a connection from checklist feedback to the team-template decision. Preserve each availability statement and avoid adding delivery dates. Keep the narration under 100 words. End with the exact feedback request. Use labeled diagrams with readable type. Show selected settings and the total estimate before creation. After I confirm, stop for plan review and bring back the complete narration and scene plan. Wait for approval before production. Continue the same video when I request progress. Do not create scheduled tasks or messages. Return its preview, ngram project link and MP4 export when ready. If the ngram connector is not connected, read https://www.ngram.com/markdown/docs/connect-ngram-to-claude.md?view=1 and help me connect ngram to Claude. Wait for me to complete sign-in and approve access, then resume this workflow.

Cedar Desk’s sample roadmap has one goal: help new customers complete their first project with less uncertainty. Available now: onboarding checklists and CSV export. In progress: improving the first-project checklist. It isn’t available yet, and has no announced launch date. Proposed next: evaluate team templates. First, we review checklist feedback, then decide whether to start them. It’s a proposed priority, not a delivery commitment. Later idea: explore a shared reporting dashboard. It’s an idea, with no delivery commitment or date. Tell the product team which step in your first project is hardest to understand.
How it works
One source. A repeatable workflow.
Start with
Current priorities, availability and dependencies
Create in
Claude
Make
A narrated roadmap briefing
Supply the current roadmap
Open a Claude conversation with ngram enabled. Paste the workflow prompt and add the reviewed planning source. Identify what is available, what is being worked on and which ideas still need a decision.
Check every availability statement
Confirm the prepared settings with plan review. Compare the narration and diagram labels with the source. Check dependencies and dates, then approve production when each item has the correct status.
Check the finished roadmap
Ask Claude for progress on the existing video and open the returned preview. Check that the labels remain readable and that proposed work is clearly marked as tentative.
Share the update and collect feedback
Choose appropriate visibility or an export option for the stakeholder audience. Deliver the video with the written roadmap and the specific feedback question.
Watch the workflow
Create a roadmap update in Claude
Follow the sample planning brief, settings confirmation and revised availability diagram, then watch the complete roadmap update. Waiting time is removed.

A sample roadmap with explicit availability and commitments is supplied to Claude. Creation is confirmed with plan review. The plan is revised to show four independent regions, with one connection from checklist feedback to the team-template decision. The revised status labels and closing question are checked before production is approved. Claude returns the finished MP4 and project link. The complete 47-second briefing plays with this narration. Cedar Desk’s sample roadmap has one goal: help new customers complete their first project with less uncertainty. Available now: onboarding checklists and CSV export. In progress: improving the first-project checklist. It isn’t available yet, and has no announced launch date. Proposed next: evaluate team templates. First, we review checklist feedback, then decide whether to start them. It’s a proposed priority, not a delivery commitment. Later idea: explore a shared reporting dashboard. It’s an idea, with no delivery commitment or date. Tell the product team which step in your first project is hardest to understand.
Your starting point
Start with the prompt.
Develop the briefing in Claude, then check the plan for any statement that turns an idea into a delivery commitment.
Review. Then deliver.
Claude returns the completed video and its ngram project. Compare the explanation with your source before delivery.
While your video is being made
Ask Claude for the current video’s status and review any pending question or plan.
Share a link
Choose visibility for the intended stakeholder group and include the written roadmap when sharing the video.
Download the video
Ask Claude to prepare an MP4 and choose an export option available to your ngram account. Download in the ngram project requires an eligible paid plan. Check the saved file before uploading or sending it.
If the workflow needs attention
Ask Claude to inspect the existing video’s reported problem. Keep its ID and project link when continuing the same run.
- A proposed item appears available
- Identify the item and quote its current source status. Ask Claude to correct the narration and visual label in the same video.
- The video adds a delivery date
- Point out the unsupported date and supply the approved availability wording. Review the revised scene before sharing.
- A dependency is missing
- Describe the decision that must happen first and the work that depends on it. Ask Claude to show that connection in the existing diagram.
Keep the workflow. Change the story.
