Planning is easy.
Agreeing is hard.

Lanes is a planning canvas where everyone ranks priorities on their own — then the tool shows you exactly where the team disagrees, before the quarter locks. No more silent nodding in the meeting and quiet dissent after it.

Needs a decision: Dana ranks it #1, Marcus puts it #4 — hear both cases, then disagree-and-commit.
How it works

Three views, one honest picture

01 — Map

Roadmap canvas

Initiatives are lanes, projects are cards — each with a build quarter and a go-live quarter. Drag to re-home, propose new ideas, pin notes the team must not forget.

02 — Rank

Everyone ranks alone

Each person drags projects into the order they would build them. No anchoring, no loudest-voice-wins — the disagreement is the point.

03 — Decide

See where you disagree

Every ranking plotted on one axis. Tight cluster: lock it. Wide, hot band: that's your meeting agenda — ten minutes, both cases, disagree-and-commit.

Built for the messy middle of planning

Everything the spreadsheet couldn't do

Propose, then approve

Anyone can pitch a project as a proposal. It sits on the canvas — dashed, visible, not yet ranked — until the team approves or declines it.

📌

Pinned notes, not lost comments

Deadlines, dependencies, decisions — pin them to a project so reminders don't drown in the discussion thread.

No question left hanging

Comments resolve like code review. Open questions are counted on every card, lane, and across the whole canvas — so you know when you're actually done.

One link, one canvas

Your setup saves automatically to a unique URL. Share it and the whole team lands on the same roadmap, ranking as themselves.

Stop re-arguing the same quarter

Put your real roadmap in, let everyone rank, and take the one contested call to your next planning meeting.
