Beautiful roadmaps are great—but roadmaps that stay accurate are better. Taskstreamer gives you both, with automatic updates from your Jira data.
The key differences that matter for your planning workflow
Where the differences really show up in your daily workflow
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
