Introducing List Mode in Advanced Roadmaps

[#1]

Hi, I’m Bree, your friendly neighborhood Product Manager for Jira Premium. I’m here today to talk to you about a highly-requested feature that’s in the final stages of rollout. 

We hope this feature will allow you to manage Jira data in a faster, easier and very familiar way.

Many customers tell us that they already try to collapse the timeline as much as possible so they have better access to their data, so we’ve removed the need for that workaround with list mode in Advanced Roadmaps.

Introducing the List in Advanced Roadmaps!

You can now access a version of your plan that doesn’t focus on the timeline structure. To do this, select the List toggle next to the View settings button:

Select this toggle to view a ‘second page’ of your plan where you’re free to add more columns to show more detail, or tell a completely different story with your data:

When you toggle between the timeline and the list, any columns that you add won’t carry over. In the images above, my list shows more columns containing heaps of information; this allows me to only show a few columns when viewing my timeline bars. You can also reorder columns through the Fields drop down.

All the existing filtering and grouping options apply to the List as well as the ability to embed it into Confluence and other sharing options.

We’d love to know what you think

This is a feature that we’re only beginning to embrace, so we’d love to hear your feedback. Let us know what you like (or don’t like) about the List using the Give feedback button on your plan. You can also leave a comment here or find a time that suits to chat using Calendly.

We can't wait to hear what you think!

Cheers
Bree

Is this feature available for Data Center instances? If not, any timeline to add? 

[Bree Davies]

Hi @Judah this is Cloud only at this stage. 

[Judah]

Okay good to know, thank you for the great article! @Bree Davies 

[Joseph Chung Yin]

@Bree Davies -

Thanks for sharing.  It will also be great to keep us updated when it is also available for the Data Center env too.

Best, Joseph

Yes! I know some of our clients have been asking for this and they are currently using it as part of third-party add-ons. Great way to update Advanced Roadmaps! 🙌

[Kendall Totten]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!! This is so marvelous, I've been waiting for this for a long time!! 

[Bree Davies]

Thank you @Tomislav Tobijas _Koios_ and @Kendall Totten

Look forward to hearing your detailed feedback!

One question for Team Atlassian: are you going to add the capability to collapse columns in the list view by clicking on the column name, the way you can in the timeline view? This would be a hopefully easy and useful feature, please & thank you!

[Bree Davies]

@Kendall Totten keen to hear more about this, is this because you prefer to avoid horizontal scroll?

[Kendall Totten]

Hi @Bree Davies! Yes, I like to show a lot of columns (priority, assignee, status, dates, labels, etc) and I often work from a laptop so I have less visual space. I think the horizontal scroll bar is just one solution for making best use of the space.

But another important reason is if I'm screen-sharing with others, I want to collapse columns to reduce visual noise so we can focus on a particular thing such as updating priority & rank for example, but then it's really useful to be able to pop open the labels column to quickly tag something if needed, and then collapse it again. Plus as a general UX nicety, it's functionality I'm already used to in the timeline view, so it seems strange that its missing from the list view. I find myself doing frustration-clicks on the headings often, thinking they are broken.

Thanks!

The List view is great.  What I would like to be able to do is set the default fields for the list view.  Or have a toggle that you can select to use the same fields that are shown in the timeline view.  Most of the user feedback I get is "why do the displayed fields change. can we stop that"?

Currently, as far as know, I have to set the fields in both views.  The ability to be able to toggle on and off the option to use the timeline fields for the list view would be extremely helpful for read only views that are embedded in confluence for executives that are nor familiar with how to change and update fields.  It just offers less confusion.  Just some thoughts.
