# Roadmap **(PREMIUM)**
|
|
|
|
> - Introduced in [GitLab Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 10.5.
|
|
> - In [GitLab 12.9](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/198062), Roadmaps were moved to the Premium tier.
|
|
> - In [GitLab 12.9](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/5164) and later, the epic bars show epics' title, progress, and completed weight percentage.
|
|
> - Milestones appear in roadmaps in [GitLab 12.10](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/6802), and later.
|
|
> - Feature flag for milestones visible in roadmaps removed in [GitLab 13.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/29641).
|
|
|
|
Epics and milestones within a group containing **Start date** and/or **Due date**
|
|
can be visualized in a form of a timeline (that is, a Gantt chart). The Roadmap page
|
|
shows such a visualization for all the epics and milestones which are under a group or one of its
|
|
subgroups.
|
|
|
|
On the epic bars, you can see the each epic's title, progress, and completed weight percentage.
|
|
When you hover over an epic bar, a popover appears with the epic's title, start date, due date, and
|
|
weight completed.
|
|
|
|
You can expand epics that contain child epics to show their child epics in the roadmap.
|
|
You can click the chevron **{chevron-down}** next to the epic title to expand and collapse the child epics.
|
|
|
|
On top of the milestone bars, you can see their title. When you hover a milestone bar or title, a popover appears with its title, start date and due date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A dropdown menu allows you to show only open or closed epics. By default, all epics are shown.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can sort epics in the Roadmap view 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 persist 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.
|
|
> - In [GitLab 12.9](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/198062), Timelines were moved to the Premium tier.
|
|
|
|
Roadmap supports the following date ranges:
|
|
|
|
- Quarters
|
|
- Months (default)
|
|
- Weeks
|
|
|
|
### Quarters
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the **Quarters** preset, roadmap shows epics and milestones which have start or due dates
|
|
**falling within** or **going through** past quarter, current quarter, and the next four 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 the **Months** preset, roadmap shows epics and milestones which have start or due dates
|
|
**falling within** or
|
|
**going through** the past month, current month, and the next five 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 the **Weeks** preset, roadmap shows epics and milestones which have start or due dates **falling
|
|
within** or **going through** the past week, current week and the next four 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.
|
|
|
|
## Roadmap timeline bar
|
|
|
|
The timeline bar indicates the approximate position of an epic or milestone based on its start and
|
|
due dates.
|
|
|
|
<!-- ## 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. -->
