Roadmap
Thesis timeline planner with deadline-aware pacing
Roadmap turns your degree's method into a milestone plan (literature-based, theoretical, or empirical) and paces it against your real deadline. One dashboard shows what's done, what's next, and where you're ahead or behind.
What Roadmap does
Method-specific milestones
Choose literature-based, theoretical, or empirical and get the standard milestone ladder for that method, created with your project, ready on day one.
Deadline-aware pacing
Set (or change) your deadline and every milestone gets a target date. The dashboard says plainly whether you're on track, ahead, or behind, and by how many days.
You stay in control
Milestones are only ever completed by you. The AI suggests when your activity looks done; it never silently ticks your progress.
The project brief
Your adopted research question, conceptual framework, study design, and target venue live in one brief every other tool reads. Change any of them anytime.
Share with your supervisor
Share a read-only link so your supervisor sees real progress and real verification stats, not a status report you wrote at midnight.
Grounded by design
The dashboard's progress and grounding numbers come from the real verification ledger, never estimates.
Who Roadmap is for
PhD and Master's students planning a multi-year project
You get the standard milestone ladder for your method on day one, instead of inventing a plan from a blank page.
Anyone working to a fixed submission date
Every milestone is paced against your real deadline, so slippage is visible in weeks rather than discovered at the end.
Students with a supervisor to keep informed
A read-only link shows genuine progress and verification statistics, replacing the status update you would otherwise write.
How Roadmap compares
- A spreadsheet or Gantt chart
- Knows nothing about your actual work, so it goes stale the week you make it.
- A generic project planner
- Has no idea what a literature-based or empirical thesis contains, so you build the milestone list yourself.
- Roadmap
- Milestones come from your method, dates come from your deadline, and progress comes from work you actually did in the other tools.

Roadmap questions
How do I plan a thesis timeline?
Pick your method (literature-based, theoretical, or empirical) and set your submission deadline. Roadmap generates the standard milestone ladder for that method and gives every milestone a target date paced against your real deadline.
Does it track my progress automatically?
It suggests when your activity looks like a milestone is done, but only you mark it complete. Progress is never ticked silently on your behalf.
Can my supervisor see my plan?
Yes. A read-only link shows live progress and real verification statistics, so your supervisor sees the work rather than a written status update.
