Showing estimations in Timeline

[Stef Smits]

I am trying to create a nice overview of our roadmap using the Timeline in Jira. It would be great if I could see the estimations in the Timeline a well, but until now I am not able to configure this. 

Does anybody know or this is even possible?

Hi Stef,

Unfortunately, as far as I know, the Timeline feature in Jira doesn’t support displaying estimations directly within the view. 

If you’re using Jira Premium, you might want to consider utilizing Plans. Plans allow you to create a roadmap view, where you can include various fields such as estimations: 

If you’re not on Jira Premium, there are add-ons available in the Atlassian Marketplace that offer advanced timeline features. You can consider our add-on ActivityTimeline, which provides a comprehensive view of resource and team timelines, including the ability to display estimations.

Hi @Svitlana Samotis (Reliex) thanks for your answer. I am using Jira premium and have taken a look at the Roadmap in Jira plans. I also saw that I could show the estimates in this view but what I like in Timeline is that I can create a roadmap based on the sprintbacklog without using the start and end dates of issues. 
I could not find that as an option in Roadmaps.

Do you know or that is a possibility in Roadmaps?
That would be a good sollution.

Yes, looks like it is possible in the Scrum board plans to show takes based on the sprint dates. 

You can configure it in the Plan settings -> Inferred dates: 

Just make sure when you are creating a plan to choose a board but not a project:

the only difference is that the timeline shows the sprint like this (see printscreen). It seems that is not something I can reproduce in the roadmap.

It is possible to have sprints visualized: 

Just make sure to assign a team and choose an issue source: Associate a team to an issue source in your plan

I have added a team and an issue source, however I still dont get the view you have in you screenshot.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
