Roadmap
Introduced in GitLab Ultimate 10.5.
An Epic within a group containing Start date and/or Due date can be visualized in a form of a timeline (e.g. a Gantt chart). The Epics Roadmap page shows such a visualization for all the epics which are under a group and/or its subgroups.
A dropdown allows you to show only open or closed epics. By default, all epics are shown.
Epics in the view can be sorted by:
- Created date
- Last updated
- Start date
- Due date
Each option contains a button that toggles the sort order between ascending and descending. The sort option and order will be persisted when browsing Epics, including the epics list view.
Roadmaps can also be visualized inside an epic.
Timeline duration
Introduced in GitLab Ultimate 11.0.
Roadmap supports the following date ranges:
- Quarters
- Months (Default)
- Weeks
Quarters
In Quarters preset, roadmap shows epics which have start or due dates falling within or going through past quarter, current quarter and next 4 quarters, where today is shown by the vertical red line in the timeline. The sub-headers underneath the quarter name on the timeline header represent the month of the quarter.
Months
In Months preset, roadmap shows epics which have start or due dates falling within or going through past month, current month and next 5 months, where today is shown by the vertical red line in the timeline. The sub-headers underneath the month name on the timeline header represent the date on starting day (Sunday) of the week. This preset is selected by default.
Weeks
In Weeks preset, roadmap shows epics which have start or due dates falling within or going through past week, current week and next 4 weeks, where today is shown by the vertical red line in the timeline. The sub-headers underneath the week name on the timeline header represent the days of the week.
Timeline bar for an epic
The timeline bar indicates the approximate position of an epic based on its start and due date. If an epic doesn’t have a due date, the timeline bar fades away towards the future. Similarly, if an epic doesn’t have a start date, the timeline bar becomes more visible as it approaches the epic’s due date on the timeline.
