The roadmap menu

This page covers the range of tools and controls available in the new Easy Agile Roadmaps app.

The roadmap timeline

Issues in the selected date range will be loaded for the roadmap.

Issues are displayed on the roadmap according to their start and end dates.

The timeline will display differently depending on the Hierarchy toggle.

Scrolling

There are three ways to change which time period of the roadmap is shown:

  1. Click and drag to scroll the roadmap.

  2. Use the horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the screen.

  3. Change the Date range in the top toolbar.

The issue panel

All issues currently on the roadmap will show in a panel on the left side of the page. This shows high-level details about your issues:

  • Summary

  • Issue key

  • Issue type icon

  • Status Category (To Do / In Progress / Done), indicated by a colored square

In Hierarchy view, level 1 issues (stories and other standard-level issues) are collapsed by default.

  • Show level 1 issues for an epic by clicking on the arrow on the left side of an epic.

Level 1 issues are not loaded by default for performance reasons.

  • Add child issue: to open a panel where you can select an existing issue from your Jira boards

  • Unschedule: clear dates from the issue (without removing it from its place in the hierarchy)

Hierarchy and guides

Toggle Hierarchy view from the top of the top of the issue panel.

  • When Hierarchy is toggled on, you can also use Guides to better visualize how issues relate to their parent/children issues on the timeline.

The Roadmap name is shown on the left-hand end of the toolbar.

Navigate back to the Roadmap list page from the top left of the toolbar.

Timeline view: Date range, Zoom level, and Today

The Date range selector lets you directly control which portion of the timeline is visible. If the selected period does not fit on your screen, the app will display the start of the selected period.

Zoom level can be set to Month or Week.
