+# Roadmap
+
+[![CNCF](https://img.shields.io/badge/CNCF-Sandbox-blue?logo=cncf)](https://www.cncf.io/projects/tinkerbell/)
+
+The official Tinkerbell roadmap that provides visibility into high level themes of work and features.
+
+Anyone can raise a roadmap item for consideration. Raise an issue against this repository and it 
+will be considered by project maintainers. Ensure you include sufficient detail making minmal
+assumptions about the readers knowledge. After some discussion you may be asked to provide a 
+design; maintainers will guide you as needed.
+
+When the issue is processed it will appear in the [roadmap project](https://github.com/orgs/tinkerbell/projects/16?query=is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc).
+
+## What is appropriate for the roadmap?
+
+The roadmap exists for tracking and visibility purposes. Our process is designed to be light weight 
+without sacraficing necessary detail to gain an high level understanding of project work.
+
+Items appropriate for the roadmap include anything that presents a significant change - 
+often but not always across multiple Tinkerbell repositories - or that the community really ought
+to be aware of when gaining a snapshot understanding of in-flight work. There are no hard rules  
+about roadmap item size so if in doubt raise the issue and we can determine how best to track the
+work item later.
