Taskstreamer vs
Roadmunk

Beautiful roadmaps are great—but roadmaps that stay accurate are better. Taskstreamer gives you both, with automatic updates from your Jira data.

Roadmunk Visual Roadmap Tool

The Bottom Line

TL;DR
Roadmunk (now part of Tempo) is a visual roadmapping tool that makes it easy to create beautiful, shareable roadmaps. Multiple view formats, drag-and-drop simplicity, and polished presentations are its strengths. It's designed to help product managers communicate plans to stakeholders.

Taskstreamer focuses on roadmaps that calculate themselves. Instead of manually placing items on a timeline and hoping dates are realistic, our sequencing engine computes delivery dates based on actual team capacity, dependencies, and priorities. And because we live inside Jira, your roadmap always reflects reality.

If you need a simple visual tool to communicate plans that don't change much, Roadmunk works well. If you need roadmaps grounded in execution reality that update automatically, choose Taskstreamer.
Choose Taskstreamer if you need roadmaps connected to real execution data in Jira.

Feature deep dive

Where the differences really show up in your daily workflow

Source of Truth

Roadmunk

Roadmunk is a standalone planning tool. You can connect it to Jira, but they're separate systems. Your roadmap shows what you planned; Jira shows what's actually happening. Keeping them aligned requires ongoing effort and discipline.

Two systems = two versions of reality that drift apart.
Taskstreamer Winner

Taskstreamer is a Jira plugin. Your roadmap IS your Jira data, visualized intelligently. When a story moves to "Done" in Jira, your roadmap reflects it instantly. No sync jobs, no reconciliation, no drift.

One source of truth. Roadmap and execution always match.

How Dates Are Set

Roadmunk

You drag items onto the timeline where you think they should go. The tool doesn't know your team's capacity or workload—dates are based on your judgment and optimism. When priorities shift, you manually move items and guess at new dates.

Dates are wishes, not calculations.
Taskstreamer Winner

Our sequencing engine calculates every date. It knows team capacity per sprint, respects dependencies, and sequences by priority. Ask "when will feature X ship?" and get an answer that accounts for everything in the queue ahead of it.

Every date is calculated, not guessed.

Dependency Management

Roadmunk

You can add dependency lines between items for visualization. But Roadmunk doesn't enforce anything—you can schedule an item before its dependency ships. It's a visual aid, not a planning engine that respects constraints.

Dependencies are decorative, not enforced.
Taskstreamer Winner

Dependencies are enforced by the sequencing engine. Feature B can't start until Feature A completes. Add a new dependency, and the entire roadmap resequences in milliseconds. You'll never accidentally ship something before its prerequisite.

Dependencies are constraints the engine respects.

Visual Presentation

Roadmunk Winner

Roadmunk excels at visual presentation. Multiple view formats (timeline, swimlane, portfolio), beautiful color schemes, polished exports. It's designed from the ground up for creating impressive stakeholder presentations.

Best-in-class visual roadmap presentations.
Taskstreamer

We have clean, professional roadmap views and 1-click PowerPoint export. The visuals are good—but our focus is on the data being accurate, not on having the most presentation templates. Function over form.

Good visuals, but not our primary focus.
