Using Timelines in Workstreams

Overview

Timelines offer a clear, visual way to track projects, milestones, and dependencies for a workstream, or across Workstreams within a team. You can leverage them to help you manage complex and multi-phase projects with an interactive roadmap view that enables cross-functional execution.

What’s New with Timelines?

  • Automated Timeline Views: Workstreams now include a dedicated Timeline tab that automatically generates a visual representation of your project.
  • Grouping & Sorting: Organize items by assignee, status, section, priority, and more.
  • Custom Views & Filters: Customize what’s displayed using filters, grouping, and color coding.
  • Time Horizon Selection: View your project across different time frames - Day, Week, Month, Quarter, or Year.

How to Access the Timeline View

  • Timeline of an individual workstream: Navigate to your Workstream and click on the Timeline tab
  • Timeline of all workstreams belonging to a team: Navigate to a team you are a part of and click on the Timeline tab

Customizing Your Timeline
