Roadmap tab is the timeline view for all packages and versions residing on selected release board based on their Start and Release dates.
Packages and versions with the Release date and no Start date are shown as Milestones.
In addition to packages and versions overview on the roadmap you can:
update start and release dates by drag-and-drop
add new and edit existing package and versions
search roadmap by item name and versions by released/archived status
identify versions which mismatch their parent start/release dates
Here is a brief overview of the Roadmap UI components:
Packages panel
Packages swimlanes with nested versions
Versions
Milestones
If a version is part of the package and the version start date is before the package start date or the version release date is after the package release date, a warning is displayed:
To fix it click on a version to drag and drop it within package start/release date. Or click on package to amend start/release date to accommodate the version.
All the versions without Start and Release date are considered as “unscheduled“. They are shown on timeline as small blurred bars for “today“. By clicking on it you can move start/release date and schedule respectively. The changes will be saved automatically.
The roadmap is split into swimlanes by either packages or projects.
If you select packages for swimlanes we will group all the versions (fix- and virtual-) by the packages they belong too. Remember that one version might belong to multiple packages. All versions without a parent package are grouped into "Versions without package" at the bottom of the roadmap.
If you select projects for swimlanes we will group all fix-versions by projects (1-to-1 relationship). We will also outline all the virtual versions and all the packages as 2 additional swimlanes at the bottom of the roadmap.
In case you organize swimlanes by packages you can sort them
packages name,
start date,
release date,
or status.
To do so pick up suitable sorting option in the pullup closed to Project/Packages dropdown.
Any package swimlane could be expanded or collapsed individually or all together using controls on the top bar.
It is possible to View Issues, Edit, Archive or Delete versions and packages on the roadmap from the context menu.
To alter version props user should have administration permission of the respective project in Jira where the version resides. View Issues is allowed with browse project permissions. There are no restrictions for Packages once you have access to the board (though you still need to have browse project permissions to view issues that belongs to package versions).
Users can search for versions and packages. Thus the roadmap view will be adjusted according to search results as shown in example below:
Some basic filtering is available as well, namely:
you can filter by Archived/Unarchived versions and packages
more filters coming soon
As you probably noticed we color versions and packages according to your State.
For versions:
blue means UNRELEASED (state for fix version in Jira)
green stays for RELEASED (state for fix version in Jira)
For packages:
blue (aka to-do) stays for 1st column on the board
green (aka done) means last column on the board
yellow (aka in progress) for everything in between.
