Use cases: Portfolios and roadmaps

Roadmaps that stay linked to the actual work

Bring epics, milestones, releases and project deadlines into one view. A change in a work item shows in the project plan as well.

What portfolios and roadmaps gets

  1. Epics and work items in one hierarchy

    Group the work into epics and follow their progress by the work items actually completed.

  2. Releases and deadlines

    Plan the release dates and see which of the work included is still unfinished.

  3. Visible dependencies

    Link work items with links such as "blocks", "is blocked by" or "relates to", and see the dependencies in the Gantt plan.

How to get started

Four steps from the first configuration to everyday work.

  1. 1

    Describe the initiatives as epics and name the owners.

  2. 2

    Set the milestones and the release dates.

  3. 3

    Link the work that depends on each other.

  4. 4

    Follow the plan in Gantt and in the project overviews.
