Are there plans to introduce a weekly view to the timeline tab?

Keiran Munn

The timeline view doesn't really give a fair view of an idea's duration on the timeline view due to it only support months or quarters.

For example in the monthly view, if a project has a start date in September and end date in October this appears on the timeline across both months where technically it could actually be shorter in duration than a project that starts and ends in September.

We'd like to be able to view the timeline view down to the week similar to how you can in native Jira.

Hi all, timeline views now support weekly granularity:

We've asked the same question @Keiran Munn

Would be really useful for us particularly when talking to stakeholders.

Tanguy Crusson

Thanks for the feedback, we'll consider this when we next look at this feature. When we designed this feature it was with a specific use case in mind (prioritization and communication of roadmaps based on bigger blocks/investments - no detailed Gantt charts!). We'll review after talking to a few of you about how you ended up using it.

Keiran Munn

Thanks Tanguy, we're utilising JPD it document projects that are both in discovery or not yet in development.

We're using the roadmap view with custom columns split quarterly to plan and document our committed workload for the quarter but ideally for reviewing this with other stakeholders in the business a more traditional gantt chart view is beneficial to a weekly or bi-weekly view, this allows us to better understand out dev team capacity.

We have use advanced roadmaps in Jira previously to demonstrate this value but have since adopted rolling up our sprint dates rather than set dates as this is then dynamically updated as and when we move tickets from one sprint to the next and with some of these projects ideas potentially not passing discovery, I want to avoid diluting Jira and confusing our devs with "potential" projects.

Thanks for the context @Keiran Munn 👍

We too could really use this! Ideas starting and stopping at the very start or very end of a month create a longer perception of duration than is actual in reality. ~4 weeks perceived difference makes a huge difference for us and for our communication process.

Same!

+1 for the weekly view request, this would be invaluable for short-term planning @Tanguy Crusson

Additionally, a dynamic roadmap view that scales time intervals could be a game changer. A view that starts with shorter intervals like weeks for near-term tasks and gradually extends to months, quarters, half-years, and even years for long-term goals would offer a more nuanced representation of project timelines. This approach could visually encapsulate the increasing levels of uncertainty as we move further into the future.

Weeks for immediate tasks
Weeks to Months for short-term goals
Months to Quarters for medium-term planning
Quarters to Half-Years for strategic objectives
Half-Years to Years for long-term vision

Nice! This is actually something we were quite keen to explore. Early drawing from 6+ months ago:

Same!! Just the addition of the week view would be fabulous @Tanguy Crusson . I am using it for high level project templates. I can show bigger chunks of work as ideas, and link to jira software tickets, but i'd like to have a display to screenshot for customers of how long the bigger chunks will take and it doesn't quite do it showing just by month.

Jordan Jolly

Looks great! Add the option to get down to weeks example below) as well and that would be amazing!!

Brent Vierling

Just throwing my hat in the ring on this one. I would love to be able to be in a monthly view and snap the idea to a week. Really all I care about is our 2-week sprint intervals but since these all start at different week #'s, snapping to a week would make it work for everyone. We would still look at an overall monthly basis but gives more flexibility in planning the work for the month.

Sabina Alistar

@Tanguy Crusson I will add to the pleas for a weekly view.

We are trying to use it to plan ahead/ build a reasonable plan for how PMs should sequence their efforts, as well as (with a couple of custom fields) to straw-man a tentative timeline for delivery so we don't all overwhelm the same Eng team with our big projects at the same time.

It doesn't help if a project supposed to start Jan 30 and end Feb 4 looks like it's taking all of Jan and all of Feb. We're hacking around it by displaying the actual dates on the card, but visually it's quite confusing.

Thank you so much for considering this!

One more vote for the weekly view! We would like this a LOT!

yago_m2sig4

I use this view to show 'what' is being released 'when' to the sales team. I also use this view to show the design and product teams what we are working on and when it's going to be released. The fact that is snaps to 2 week increments makes it very confusing! Just snap the idea to the exact Start and Done date.

Rasmus Sørensen_baev49

As with Yago, we also use it for both sharing with other functions and internally to show what is going on.

Due to our size and speed of development. Weekly cycles are the planning level we are at, most often just looking 8 weeks ahead with our work. So it's not about making a detailed waterfall plan; it's just our current strategic level.

For us, not having the weekly view in the timeline is what keeps us from JPD and makes us stay with our current solutions.

Sharon Miller_n3nun2

+1 to this feature, it would be a game changer for increasing adoption of JPD - it seems like a small lift for a huge improvement to the functionality of the timeline view. We work in sprints, so showing at minimum of a weekly view feels like table stakes.
