Roadmap

Roadmap shows the workspace’s planned work on a timeline. The Roadmap tab opens it from a board channel. A roadmap belongs to the workspace, so the tab shows the same roadmap in every channel that offers it.

Items and milestones #

The Item column lists the roadmap’s items. The Timeline column draws each item as a bar from its start date to its end date. A milestone is an item drawn as a diamond. An item with children shows them when you expand it. A bar shows the item’s finished issues against its total.

Each item shows 1 status: Planned, In progress, At risk, Blocked, Done or Cancelled. An At risk or Blocked bar also carries a hatch, so the status does not depend on colour alone.

The roadmap’s name states its time zone, for example “Launch plan (UTC)”. Dates on the timeline are calendar days in that zone.

Dependencies #

An arrow joins an item to the item it depends on. A dependency between 2 milestones appears as an arrow between their diamonds. Each item’s text description names the items that block it, and a screen reader reads that description. Arrows appear for the rows in view, so a scrolled or printed roadmap shows only some of them.

Zoom and range #

Zoom sets the size of 1 step on the timeline: 15 minutes, Hour, Day, Week, Month, Quarter or Year. Roadmap opens at Week. A vertical line marks today. The date menu selects a range, and Apply shows it.

When the workspace has more than 1 roadmap, the button beside the name opens a list of them. Selecting another roadmap replaces the timeline and keeps the zoom.

Read only #

Roadmap shows items and changes none of them. Dragging a bar, the date menu and the keyboard do not reschedule an item. The surface reports this as “Rescheduling is not available on a read-only roadmap.”

Roadmap does not update while it is open. Reloading the page reads the roadmap again.
