JPD: Roadmap time scale "Years" instead of months or quarters

helene_blumer

Hello Atlassian Community!

In JPD, I just created a roadmap view. The items I included there span from today until end of 2028, so quite a long time. In the roadmap settings (time scale), I can only select quarters or months - this leads to stakeholders having to scroll all the way to 2028.

I would like to show this long-term roadmap in a compact way, only by years.

Do you know if and how this is possible? Or do you know a workaround?

Thanks for your help!

Hi @helene_blumer  👋

I totally get the need for a more compact view when planning long-term!

Current State (as far as I know)

In Jira Product Discovery, the roadmap timeline currently supports monthly and quarterly time scales. There’s no built-in yearly view yet, and this has been raised by other users in the community.

Workarounds You Might Try

While we wait for a native “year” scale, here are a few ideas that could help:

1. Group by Year Field
   Create a custom field like “Target Year” and use a board view grouped by that field. It’s not a timeline, but it gives a clean yearly breakdown.
2. Use the “Now / Next / Later” View
   This view is great for high-level planning and avoids strict dates. It’s especially useful when you want to communicate strategy without overwhelming detail.
3. External Publishing
   If you’re sharing with stakeholders, consider exporting or publishing the roadmap in Confluence, to present a simplified yearly view.

Hope this helps!
