Understanding your project roadmap
How to read your Chykalophia project roadmap, what each section means, and how to stay oriented throughout your project.
- Difficulty
- Beginner
Your project roadmap is a living document that shows you where your project is, where it's going, and what's expected of you at each stage. This guide explains how to read it and what to do with it.
Quick summary
Your roadmap lives in ClickUp. It breaks your project into phases, shows which tasks are complete, in progress, or upcoming, and flags where your input is needed. Check it regularly to stay oriented.
Where to find your roadmap
Your roadmap lives in ClickUp, the project management tool we share with you. When you log in, look for the space or project named after your business. The roadmap is typically the top-level view of your project.
If you haven't received your ClickUp invite yet, email support@chykalophia.com and we'll send it over.
What the roadmap shows
Your roadmap is divided into phases that match the stages of your project:
| Phase | What's happening |
|---|---|
| Discovery & Strategy | Research, kickoff calls, goal-setting |
| Design | Wireframes, visual design, feedback rounds |
| Development | Building the site, integrations, testing |
| Launch | Final review, go-live, handoff |
| Ongoing (if applicable) | Maintenance, updates, growth work |
Within each phase, you'll see individual tasks. Each task has a status that tells you its current state.
Understanding task statuses
Watch for 'Waiting on Client'
Tasks with a "Waiting on Client" status mean the project is paused until we hear from you. These are the most important ones to act on quickly to keep your project on schedule.
What you need to do
Most of the time, your job is to review and respond when you're asked. Here's a simple checklist:
- Check ClickUp regularly (we recommend every 1–2 business days during active project phases)
- Open any tasks marked "In Review" or "Waiting on Client"
- Leave your feedback or approval as a comment on the task
- Ask questions in the task comments rather than a separate email — it keeps everything in context
Common questions
The roadmap looks overwhelming. Where do I start?
Start with any task that says "Waiting on Client" or "In Review" — those are the ones that need your attention right now. Everything else is either done or being handled by us.
Something on the roadmap looks wrong or is missing. What should I do?
Leave a comment on the relevant task or send a message to support@chykalophia.com. Roadmaps do get updated as projects evolve, and sometimes things move around. We'll clarify.
Can I add tasks to the roadmap myself?
You can leave comments and questions on any task. For new work requests, see How to request new work or changes. We'll create the formal task once we've confirmed scope and timeline.
I don't have ClickUp yet. How do I get access?
