Tool or plugin with milestones for quarterly planning for multiple teams

[Yulia Alekseeva]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a tool or plugin for quarterly planning in Jira.
I need to visualize the initiatives on a timeline, broken down by teams.

The tool should allow us to:

• Add milestones with forecasted completion dates

• See when a milestone shifts and track the changes over time

• View all initiatives on one shared quarterly roadmap

• We have 50+ teams, but they could be split into clusters

Does anyone know of a Jira app or solution that could support this kind of setup?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hi @Yulia Alekseeva 

Given your requirements – I would recommend taking a close look at Planyway for Jira.

This kind of interface allows you to zoom out for the quarterly overview, see your milestones clearly marked, and understand how initiatives are progressing across your various teams.

Here’s why it hits all your points:

1. Planyway's core strength is its timeline and roadmap views. It's incredibly intuitive to see who's working on what and when. The timeline can be grouped by teams, team members, projects, epics, etc. Plus, you can always connect multiple Jira projects to one page. The timeline scales can be switched from daily and weekly to monthly, quarterly and annual view with +/- buttons on the right.
2. You can define and add milestones directly onto your timeline. These milestones can represent key deadlines, release dates, or significant checkpoints. 
3. While it might not have a full audit log of every single date change for milestones (Jira's history would cover issue-level changes), the visual nature of the timeline makes it immediately obvious when a milestone has moved. 
4. You can create a master roadmap view that encompasses multiple teams or projects. You can filter by quarters, specific teams, or even program increments, giving you that essential birds-eye view for leadership. Even with 50+ teams, you can create hierarchical views or use filtering to show relevant clusters at different planning ceremonies. It helps align everyone and makes dependencies much more apparent.

Hi there 👋

That’s a great question — and honestly, I love this kind of request! Quarterly planning with timelines, milestones, and team visibility is something many Jira users look for.

I’m not sure if you’ve heard about a new app called No-Code Apps Creator for Jira— it’s developed by my team, and it lets you build your own custom dashboards, reports, or roadmap-style apps directly inside Jira, just by describing what you need.

You have the ready-to-use prompt for it:

Create a quarterly planning view that shows:

• All initiatives on a single shared timeline

• Milestones with forecasted completion dates

• Shifts or progress updates over time

• Teams or clusters are grouped visually on one screen

The best part is, you don’t need to code anything — you just tell the AI what kind of view or report you want, and AI builds it for you.

No-Code Apps Creator might be a fun and flexible way to design exactly the roadmap your teams need 🚀
