The roadmap menu
This page covers the range of tools and controls available in the new Easy Agile Roadmaps app.
The roadmap timeline
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:
Click and drag to scroll the roadmap.
Use the horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the screen.
Change the date range set on the right-hand side of the 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, indicated by a colored square
Click any issue key to open that issue in a new tab.
With Hierarchy toggled on
With hierarchy toggled off
In the issue menu opened with the “three dots” button:
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)
The toolbar
Time periods: Zoom level, Date range, and Today
Zoom level can be set to Month or Week.
The Today button quickly scrolls you the roadmap timeline so that the current date is in the center of the view.
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.
Filters
Use Filters to reduce the issues displayed on the roadmap based on issue types and status.
Add date marker
Use date markers to mark significant dates or periods on the roadmap.
Themes
Open the Themes menu to create and manage Theme swimlanes.
When Hierarchy is enabled, the Themes button is still available. However, Themes created or managed in the Themes menu are not visible on the Roadmap while Hierarchy is enabled.
Add issues
Use the Add issues button to find and add issues that aren’t already on the roadmap (e.g. with no start/end dates).
Edit roadmap
Change the configuration of this roadmap or delete it from the ⚙️ “Edit roadmap” button in the top right corner.
Learn more about Creating and configuring roadmaps.
Hierarchy and guides
Toggle Hierarchy view from the top of the top of the issue panel.
If Hierarchy is toggled on, you can also use Guides to better visualize how issues relate to their parent/children issues on the timeline.
