What it is
The Traction Roadmap is your milestone plan for achieving traction — moving from problem/solution fit through product/market fit. It visualizes your validation journey as a series of measurable milestones.

Access from the Dashboard or ask LEANSpark “show me my traction roadmap.”
What you’ll find
- Milestone timeline — a visual roadmap showing key validation milestones
- Chart visualization — progress data plotted over time

- Stage progression — track your movement through the three stages: Problem/Solution Fit, Product/Market Fit, and Scale
Common questions
Q: What is a traction roadmap? It’s a tool from the Running Lean methodology that maps out the key milestones you need to hit to validate your business model, from early customer interviews through achieving product/market fit.
Q: How do I create my traction roadmap? Ask LEANSpark “help me build my traction roadmap” or it may suggest creating one as part of your validation planning.
Q: Can I update milestones? Yes — the roadmap is editable. Update milestones as you learn from customer discovery and experiments.
Q: How does the traction roadmap relate to sprints? Sprints are the short-term execution plan. The traction roadmap is the big-picture view showing where those sprints are taking you.
