Completed issues visible on the portal and roadmap
Keep completed issues and closed-project work visible on customer-facing roadmap surfaces so buyers can verify motion without asking the team to restate it.
Why this can grow a startup
A public roadmap only builds trust if it shows more than intention. Visible completed work gives the visitor proof that requests move, releases happen, and the page reflects the real product rather than a perpetual promise list. It also helps support and success close loops faster because shipped evidence is already sitting on the customer-facing surface.
Company example
Productlane's docs launch notes say teams can make completed issues and projects visible on the portal, and that completed issues of closed projects are shown on the roadmap.

When to use it
Use this when Roadmap, Brand, Customer Success is relevant to proof, roadmap trust, retention and you can run a bounded test with a free budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
