Productlane client-specific roadmap inside the support portal
Attach selected Linear issues and projects to a client-specific portal view so each account sees the roadmap context that matches its own requests instead of one generic public board.
Why this can grow a startup
Generic roadmaps are useful for broad signaling and weak for account confidence. Productlane's portal docs show a stronger middle ground: create an empty client thread, associate it with that client, and choose which Linear issues or projects that customer should see. That turns the roadmap from a press page into a working relationship surface. For B2B products, that matters because enterprise and mid-market buyers often need proof that the team understands their requests in context, not just proof that the company ships features in public. A client-specific roadmap also keeps expectations tighter. The customer can track what belongs to them without parsing every unrelated idea the product team has ever published.
Company example
Productlane explains that teams can create a tailored roadmap for each client by associating a thread with that client and selecting the Linear projects or issues that should appear for anyone using that client's email domain.

Productlane says everyone with an @client.com address can see the selected items on that client's portal once the thread and domain are matched correctly.
When to use it
Use this when Customer Success, Roadmaps, Support is relevant to customer-specific roadmap, b2b retention, expectation management and you can run a bounded test with a medium 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.
Founder checklist
- Read Productlane Docs: Customer Support Portal and identify what is directly supported.
- Choose one channel context: Customer Success, Roadmaps, Support.
- Define the test around Productlane says everyone with an @client.com address can see the selected items on that client's portal once the thread and domain are matched correctly..
- Set an owner, evidence window, and stop condition before launch.
