# Planning roadmaps in Portfolio Planning

Create a layout of the plans for upcoming projects or initiatives while aligning them with your business objectives using roadmaps in a centralized workspace. Facilitate collaboration among stakeholders and adjust plans on the go.

Roadmaps in Portfolio Planning Workspace are of two types: Portfolio plan roadmaps and free-form roadmaps.

For portfolio plans, only those planning items that are prioritized from the Prioritization page are shown on the roadmap. See [Prioritize work](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/portfolio-planning/prioritize-work-portfolio-planning-workspace.md).

Use the information in the following sections to start using roadmap capabilities for your business plans.

-   **[Create a free-form roadmap](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/portfolio-planning/create-free-form-roadmap-portfolio-planning-workspace.md)**  
Create a standalone visual roadmap to start high-level planning of work from different units of the company.
-   **[Duplicate a free-form roadmap](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/portfolio-planning/copy-roadmap-in-portfolio-planning.md)**  
Create a roadmap with the data of an existing roadmap. If the roadmap you want to create is similar to an existing roadmap, duplicating the existing roadmap saves your time.
-   **[Create planning items from roadmap view](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/portfolio-planning/create-planning-items-from-roadmap-view-portfolio-planning-workspace.md)**  
Create and add new planning items to your portfolio roadmap or free-form roadmap directly from the roadmap view.
-   **[Plan unscheduled items into roadmap](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/portfolio-planning/plan-unscheduled-items-into-roadmap-in-portfolio-planning.md)**  
Add items without start or end dates yet to your portfolio plan or free-form roadmap.
-   **[Reschedule roadmap items](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/portfolio-planning/reschedule-roadmap-items-portfolio-planning.md)**  
Update the planned dates of your roadmap items to account for any changes in your scheduling priorities.
-   **[Add milestones for roadmap](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/portfolio-planning/add-milestones-for-roadmap-portfolio-planning.md)**  
Track key dates of your plan's timeline by creating milestones and displaying them on the roadmap.
-   **[Add milestones for roadmap items](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/portfolio-planning/add-milestones-for-roadmap-items-portfolio-planning.md)**  
Track key outcomes of your planning items \(such as demands and projects\) by creating milestones for them, directly from the roadmap view.
-   **[Add dependencies for roadmap items](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/portfolio-planning/add-dependencies-roadmap-items-portfolio-planning.md)**  
Create dependencies and visualize relationships between planning items of your portfolio or free-form roadmap, so that you can adjust their scheduling.
-   **[Personalize roadmap view](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/portfolio-planning/personalize-roadmap-view-portfolio-planning.md)**  
Customize the way that your roadmap is displayed. Group the roadmap items, color them by a category, add numerical data points, and display milestones and dependencies to analyze your roadmap efficiently and take informed decisions.
-   **[Track the progress of roadmap items](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/portfolio-planning/track-roadmap-item-progress-portfolio-planning.md)**  
Visually track the completion of a work item on your portfolio plan roadmap or free-form roadmap using the tracking mode.
