The Jira project witch is team based not showing roadmaps but timelines? i'm following the coursera
Hello @Mike Taylor
Welcome to the Atlassian community.
It is possible that the course material you are following is not up to date. The product is evolving constantly.
Without being able to view that course material I can't provide any more insight than that. Can you provide a link to the course material you are referencing?

Indeed those materials are outdated. The "Roadmap" terminology was replaced with "Timeline" many months ago. I don't see any information readily available that indicates when the material is last updated.

Hello @Mike Taylor ,
Welcome to the Atlassian community!
In the latest Jira Cloud experience (2025), Atlassian has renamed the “Roadmap” feature to “Timeline” — and this applies to both:
✅ Team-managed projects
✅ Company-managed projects
So whether you're in a team-managed or company-managed project, you'll now see “Timeline” instead of “Roadmap” — this is expected and not a bug.
🔍 Feature Comparison
Older tutorials may still refer to this feature as “Roadmap”, but in the new Jira Cloud UI, it is now called “Timeline”.
Go to your project
Click Project settings → Features
Turn on the Timeline feature (not “Roadmap” anymore)
You’ll then see the Timeline tab in the left-hand menu for planning epics and scheduling.
Use Company-managed projects if you're working with larger teams and need detailed planning, workflows, or integrations.
Use Team-managed projects for more autonomy and ease of use.
Both support Timelines, but the Company-managed setup provides more customization options and better cross-team coordination (especially with Jira Premium/Advanced Roadmaps).

Your answer is incorrect.
In the new navigation if you are in a Company Managed project and navigate to Project Settings > Features, there is no "Enable Roadmap" option. The option is named Timeline.
The term "Timeline" has replaced "Roadmap" in both Team Managed and Company Managed projects in Jira Cloud.

Thank you — you're absolutely right.The Jira Cloud UI now uses “Timeline” instead of “Roadmap” across both Team-managed and Company-managed projects. We’ve corrected our response accordingly. Appreciate the clarification and updated insight!
