Roadmap & Prioritization Charts in Confluence with Mermaid

· 5 min read

The quarter plan is a spreadsheet with thirty rows, color-coded by priority, sorted by a column half the team doesn't trust. The kickoff asks "what are we doing when — and why this first?" and the answer requires parsing three tabs. Planning outputs are shapes: schedules stack as bars, priorities sit on a 2x2, flows bundle as ribbons. The spreadsheet stores them poorly; Mermaid draws them as text.

Quick answer: put the quarter plan in Confluence as Mermaid — gantt for when things happen, quadrantChart for which gets built first, sankey-beta for where the budget goes — rendered by Mermaid Plus for Confluence. Three charts, three planning questions, one editable page. This post gives you three copy-paste examples.
