Plan work on a timeline

Turn a project's tasks into a visual roadmap — swim lanes, draggable bars, and milestones, with no separate roadmapping tool.

  1. 1

    Open Timelines for a project

    Open a project and click Timelines (there's a Timelines button on the project dashboard). Each project has its own timelines area for roadmaps, sprints, and milestones.

    Create a timeline

    Click New Timeline, give it a name, and choose Team (shared with the project) or Private. Each project can have several — say a public roadmap and a personal sprint plan.

    Add swim lanes

    Click Add Lane to create named rows like Design or Engineering. Click a lane's name to rename it, or its color icon to give it an accent color.

  4. 4

    Drop tasks onto the timeline

    Open the task panel (the ☰ icon), then drag any project task onto a lane to place it. Bar colors follow the task's priority — or its custom status color if one is set.

    Move, resize, and add milestones

    Drag a bar to shift its dates, drag its edge to resize, and use the ‹ › arrows (or Today) to scroll the range. Add freeform milestones or deadlines with Add Custom Item.
