  • View and manage timeline

    The timeline shows work on a Gantt-style chart, ideal for planning roadmaps and dependencies.

    Access the timeline

    1. Go to your project
    2. Click the Timeline tab

    The timeline displays issues as bars on a horizontal calendar spanning days, weeks, or months.

    Understand the timeline view

    Horizontal axis shows time (today, weeks, months).

    Vertical axis lists issues, grouped by team or status.

    Bars represent issue duration from start to end date.

    Colors indicate status (backlog = gray, in progress = blue, done = green).

    Set issue dates

    1. Click an issue on the timeline
    2. Enter Start Date
    3. Enter Due Date or End Date
    4. Click Save

    The issue bar on the timeline updates to reflect the dates.

    View by team

    1. Click Group by or View
    2. Select Team

    Issues organize horizontally by team, making it easy to see team capacity over time.

    Scroll and zoom

    1. Use your mouse wheel to scroll left/right on the timeline
    2. Use the + and – buttons (or pinch gesture) to zoom in or out

    Zoom out to see the full roadmap; zoom in for details.

    Filter the timeline

    The timeline updates to show only matching issues

    Click Filters

    Select Status, Team, Assignee, or Priority

  • Team grouping and dependencies

    Visualize team schedules and identify blockers.

    Group by team

    1. Click Group by on the Timeline
    2. Select Team

    Issues are now organized by team, with each team’s workload visible across time.

    This helps you:

    • See if one team is overloaded
    • Identify parallel vs. sequential work
    • Spot timing mismatches between teams

    Identify dependencies

    Issues linked to other issues (via a “blocks” or “depends on” relationship) may show visual indicators on the timeline.

    1. Look for lines or badges connecting related issues
    2. Click an issue to see its dependencies in the detail panel

    Reorder issues within a team

    Issues within a team can be reordered on the timeline by dragging. See Reorder and plan sequentially.

    Unassigned issues

    Issues without a team assignment appear in a separate section at the top or bottom.

    Assign issues to teams to include them in team groupings.

  • Reorder and plan sequentially

    Organize your timeline to show the work sequence and identify critical paths.

    Reorder issues on the timeline

    1. On the Timeline, locate an issue row
    2. Drag the row up or down
    3. Release the mouse

    The issue position updates, and the timeline reflects the new order.

    Use positioning to represent sequence

    While the timeline’s horizontal position (dates) represents when work happens, the vertical position represents priority or sequence within a phase.

    Drag higher-priority or earlier issues toward the top.

    Plan sequential releases

    1. Set Start Date and Due Date for each issue
    2. Arrange issues so that dependencies complete before dependents begin
    3. Use the timeline to visually confirm the sequence

    For example:

    • “Backend API” (Week 1–2)
    • “Frontend integration” (Week 3–4) — depends on backend
    • “Testing & QA” (Week 4–5) — depends on both

    Set realistic timelines

    When planning sequences:

    1. Avoid overlapping deadlines for dependent work
    2. Leave buffer time for testing and fixes
    3. Account for team capacity and other commitments

    Export or share timeline

    Many teams take screenshots of the timeline for presentations or reports. The timeline visualization helps stakeholders understand the roadmap.
