Roadmap

The Roadmap is a Gantt-style timeline view that shows tasks plotted against a calendar. Each task with a start date, a due date, or both appears as a horizontal bar spanning its duration. Sprint periods appear as colored bands in the background so you can see how tasks relate to sprint boundaries. The Roadmap is best for high-level planning and date management — identifying scheduling conflicts, adjusting timelines, and communicating delivery plans to stakeholders.

​
Reading the roadmap

The Roadmap is divided into two panels:
  • Left panel — the task list. Shows task titles, with subtasks indented under their parent tasks. Click any task title to open its detail view.
  • Right panel — the timeline. Shows task bars, sprint bands, and a vertical red line marking today’s date.
Each element on the timeline:

​
Editing dates

You can change task dates directly on the roadmap without opening the task detail view.
  • Drag the left edge of a task bar to change the start date.
  • Drag the right edge of a task bar to change the due date.
  • Drag the entire bar to shift both the start date and due date by the same number of days, keeping the duration constant.
Changes save immediately. The task’s fields are updated in real time and the bar repositions on the timeline.

​
Zoom levels

Toggle between three zoom levels using the controls at the top right of the timeline: Start with Quarter to see the overall shape of work, then zoom into Month or Week for specific scheduling adjustments.

​
Tasks without dates

Only tasks with a start date, a due date, or both appear on the Roadmap itself. Tasks without any dates are collected in the No dates panel below the Roadmap, where you can assign dates to bring them onto it. That panel is paged when it holds many tasks. To add a task to the Roadmap:
  • Open the task detail view and set the Start Date or Due Date field.
  • In the Work Items view, click the start or due date cell in the task row and enter a date.
Subtasks appear indented under their parent task in the left panel, and their bars appear at the corresponding vertical position on the timeline. If a subtask falls outside its parent’s date range, this is highlighted visually so you can identify scheduling mismatches.

​
Planning with sprint bands

Sprint bands in the background let you align task scheduling with sprint boundaries without switching views. When planning, aim to keep task bars within the sprint band they are assigned to. Task bars that extend past the sprint end date indicate scope or scheduling risk. Use the Roadmap alongside the Backlog and Sprints views for a complete planning workflow: plan sprint scope in the Backlog, track day-to-day progress in the Sprint or Board view, and use the Roadmap for date management and delivery visibility.
