Template description

Recruit beta group leads to Collect feedback, then Cluster insights, then the Impact vs. effort diamond. Immediate ships a hotfix and then Notify participants. Planned adds the work to the backlog and then Sync with roadmap. Those two chains never meet. Notify participants does not flow into the roadmap, and the roadmap does not flow back into a notification. There is also no arrow from either ending back to Collect feedback. The diamond is a fork that stays forked. A hotfix and a planned item leave the picture by different doors.

When to use it

Open it when a beta review tries to put every insight on one list that ends in a single status. The drawing refuses that merge. You can ask, for each cluster, which of the two arrows it takes, and you can stop treating a roadmap sync as if the participants had already been told.

How to adapt it

Write the cutoff you mean on Impact vs. effort. If a hotfix should also create a roadmap note, add that arrow on purpose. If participants should hear about planned items, connect Notify participants to the backlog path, which this picture does not. Add a third outcome, such as decline, only if you will actually send it. Rename Recruit beta group to the cohort you have.
