Quarter roadmap
The roadmap as the Gantt chart a product team actually plans with: workstreams down the left, the quarters across the top, a bar for each piece of work — solid when shipped, striped while in progress, outlined while planned — and a line marking today through the current quarter. Shows sequence and honesty about what is done versus planned at a glance.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Quarter roadmap for posts that announce news or teach, when the message is a timeline or a list. It is built first to announce news.
It reads each post’s goal and shape first, then its own words, the platform and the facts you have, and offers this template only where it fits.
Who it’s for
Any business. Nothing in it assumes what you sell, so the Director can offer it to a software company, a café or a coaching centre alike — whenever the post fits.

What it needs
Only your post. It is made from your copy and your brand kit — there is nothing else to prepare.
Rules the AI follows
Word for word from the template library. The Director follows the copy rules when it writes into the template, and the visual review checks every creative against the visual rules.
Copy rules
- Quarters and timings exactly as the post states them; shipped work is 'done', planned work 'plan' — never promise a date the post does not give.
- Workstream names are short and concrete.
Visual rules
- A white chart card: quarter heads in mono caps over a heavy ink rule, workstream names in the heading face down the left, hairline grid cells, the current quarter washed in a pale brand tint with a dark 'today' line.
- Rounded bars spanning their quarters: solid brand when shipped, striped brand while in progress, outlined ink when planned; a key and the website below the chart.
