Add the Roadmap Planner macro to a page to create a simple, visual timeline that's useful for planning projects, software releases and much more.

Roadmaps are made up of: 

  • bars to indicate phases of work 
  • lanes to differentiate between teams, products, or streams
  • markers to highlight important dates and milestones 
  • a timeline showing months, weeks, or days.

You can provide more information about items on your roadmap by linking a bar to a page.
