# Produce graphical road maps for projects
Produce directed acyclic graph representations of a project roadmap.
The idea is to show the steps needed to reach a goal, and the order
they need to be taken, but ignore due dates and other irrelevant
details.
# Example
~~~yaml
goal:
label: |
This is the end goal:
if we reach here, there
is nothing more to be
done in the project
depends:
- finished
- blocked
finished:
status: finished
label: |
This task is finished;
the arrow indicates what
follows this task (unless
it's blocked)
ready:
status: ready
label: |
This task is ready
to be done: it is not
blocked by anything
next:
status: next
label: |
This task is chosen
to be done next
blocked:
status: blocked
label: |
This task is blocked
and can't be done until
something happens
depends:
- ready
- next
~~~
To run:
~~~sh
cargo run --bin roadmap2dot legend.yaml | dot -Tsvg > legend.svg
~~~
This will produce a graph, which is visible below if this README is
rendered from the source tree; or you can it [in the
repository](https://gitlab.com/larswirzenius/roadmap/-/blob/main/legend.svg).
