How do I stop my roadmap items reordering themselves?

[Greg Taylor]

Hello! Small issue, I think it's a bug vs a feature 😄

Using roadmap view, I arrange all of my ideas within their swimlanes eg Grouping by Product Area (moving ideas up and down within quarters) to make the page presentable - BUT - it only holds the formatting for a little while until another idea is added in a particular way (not sure what way exactly!) - and then all of the ordering is thrown out the window back to chaos - with big gaps all over the place.

Wondering if there's a way to avoid this happening?

Hi, if you click here you should see the details of who's opened the view when (top-right in every view)

Thanks, @Tanguy Crusson, that's helpful! Are there any plans down the line for something more granular that would allow to easily see number of weekly/monthly visitors per view?

[Tanguy Crusson]

Hi Jens, not currently, but thanks for the feedback! How many people are you sharing your views with?

Agree @Jens Godat  this would be a great feature, similar to how we have for confluence docs @Tanguy Crusson 

We'd love to be able to get a pulse on whether people actually visit back after the initial "launch" to internal stakeholders / if we need to change course with how we remind people it exists for them to check.

Hi @Tanguy Crusson 

It depends a bit - all views are accessible to everyone at the company (about 300 people) all the time. We do a lot of promotion company-wide at the moment to consult JPD as the single source of truth for our product plans (instead of the ol' power point that outdates so fast), but we actively push views to specific audiences on a regular basis depending on timing of specific events:

- to senior management for quarterly prioritization review: about 10-15 people

- to sales and marketing for a monthly reminder on the status of our roadmap: up to about 100 people

- to other specific divisions on a quarterly basis for an outlook into next quarter: between 80 and 150 people

Great, thanks for the context. And just to confirm, you've seen this, and this is not enough. Correct?

[Jens Godat]

Yes, I checked that out. Whenever I do a push for any of the above events, I would like to be able to come back like a week later and see how many people have actually consulted the relevant view that I pushed, like a chart where I would expect a spike and the number of people who visited in the last 7 days. That would give me like a view rate (10 out of 15, 40 out of 80, 120 out 150) and tell with which audiences we are doing a good job and which audiences do not care enough to click on the view.

ok, thanks for the feedback 👍
