Roadmap Sizing
High-level sizing for quarterly roadmap items before you commit
Use T-shirt sizing to get rough estimates on roadmap items without diving into story-level detail. This high-level pass helps product and engineering align on what's realistic for the quarter before commitments are made to stakeholders. T-shirt sizes translate naturally to sprint counts, giving leadership a capacity-aware view of the roadmap.

- 03Vote T-shirt size (XS = 1 sprint, XL = full quarter or more)
- 04Reveal and flag any items where estimates diverge widely
- 05Mark XXL items for decomposition before sprint planning
- 06Confirm the quarter plan is achievable given team capacity
When to use
At the start of each quarter during roadmap planning. Combine with a capacity model (sprints available × velocity) to sanity-check the plan before presenting it to stakeholders.
