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.

Where to find your roadmap

If we've invited you to a shared ClickUp space for your project, your roadmap lives there. 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 we haven't invited you to a shared ClickUp space, ask us about your roadmap by opening a ticket on our support portal or emailing support@chykalophia.com.

What the roadmap shows

Your roadmap is divided into phases that match the stages of your project:

PhaseWhat's happening
Discovery & StrategyResearch, kickoff calls, goal-setting
DesignWireframes, visual design, feedback rounds
DevelopmentBuilding the site, integrations, testing
LaunchFinal 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:

  • If you're in a shared ClickUp space, check it regularly (we recommend every 1 to 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, open a ticket on our support portal, or email 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. Do I need it?

No. ClickUp is used only on projects where we've invited you to a shared space. If you haven't been invited, use our support portal or email for questions about your roadmap.
