Roadmap

Planned Features

What Is Next For Retro Manager

This page lists open roadmap priorities from docs/PLAN.md (incomplete backlog table). Shipped highlights come from the same catalog the site uses when the plan file focuses on remaining work — see Features and the changelog for the full shipped list.

Retro Manager is a long-running solo project: the backlog is honest about what is still hard (custom clubs, deeper economy passes, richer continental play) versus what already landed in the shipped column. Tables update when the plan file updates — there is no separate marketing-only roadmap that can drift.

If you are new here, read the about page for the product story, the feature list for systems depth, and the changelog for release-by-release notes.
