# Roadmap **(ULTIMATE)**
|
|
|
|
> Introduced in [GitLab Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 10.5.
|
|
|
|
An Epic within a group containing **Start date** and/or **Due date**
|
|
can be visualized in a form of a timeline (e.g. a Gantt chart). The Epics Roadmap page
|
|
shows such a visualization for all the epics which are under a group and/or its subgroups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A dropdown allows you to show only open or closed epics. By default, all epics are shown.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Epics in the view can be sorted by:
|
|
|
|
- **Created date**
|
|
- **Last updated**
|
|
- **Start date**
|
|
- **Due date**
|
|
|
|
Each option contains a button that toggles the sort order between **ascending** and **descending**. The sort option and order will be persisted when browsing Epics,
|
|
including the [epics list view](../epics/index.md).
|
|
|
|
Roadmaps can also be [visualized inside an epic](../epics/index.md#roadmap-in-epics).
|
|
|
|
## Timeline duration
|
|
|
|
> Introduced in [GitLab Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.0.
|
|
|
|
Roadmap supports the following date ranges:
|
|
|
|
- Quarters
|
|
- Months (Default)
|
|
- Weeks
|
|
|
|
### Quarters
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In _Quarters_ preset, roadmap shows epics which have start or due dates _falling within_ or
|
|
_going through_ **past quarter**, **current quarter** and **next 4 quarters**, where _today_
|
|
is shown by the vertical red line in the timeline. The sub-headers underneath the quarter name on
|
|
the timeline header represent the month of the quarter.
|
|
|
|
### Months
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In _Months_ preset, roadmap shows epics which have start or due dates _falling within_ or
|
|
_going through_ **past month**, **current month** and **next 5 months**, where _today_
|
|
is shown by the vertical red line in the timeline. The sub-headers underneath the month name on
|
|
the timeline header represent the date on starting day (Sunday) of the week. This preset is
|
|
selected by default.
|
|
|
|
### Weeks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In _Weeks_ preset, roadmap shows epics which have start or due dates _falling within_ or
|
|
_going through_ **past week**, **current week** and **next 4 weeks**, where _today_
|
|
is shown by the vertical red line in the timeline. The sub-headers underneath the week name on
|
|
the timeline header represent the days of the week.
|
|
|
|
## Timeline bar for an epic
|
|
|
|
The timeline bar indicates the approximate position of an epic based on its start
|
|
and due date. If an epic doesn't have a due date, the timeline bar fades
|
|
away towards the future. Similarly, if an epic doesn't have a start date, the
|
|
timeline bar becomes more visible as it approaches the epic's due date on the
|
|
timeline.
|

|
<!-- ## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
|
|
one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
|
|
important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
|
|
This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
|
|
questions that you know someone might ask.
|
|
|
|
Each scenario can be a third-level heading, e.g. `### Getting error message X`.
|
|
If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
|
|
but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->
