Gantt and Kanban views

Roadmap OS shows the same roadmap data in two views. Toggle between them with the top-right view switcher.

Gantt timeline

A horizontal timeline with one bar per initiative.

Best for:

• Quarterly board reviews
• Visualizing dependencies and date overlaps
• Spotting capacity conflicts
• Communicating "what's shipping when"

Key elements:

• Today line — vertical red marker showing the current date
• Date range filter — top-right (This Quarter / This FY / Next 6 Months / custom)
• Section headers — colored bands grouping initiatives by section
• Status colors — bar colors indicate status (gray/blue/green/amber/red)
• Drag — drag the bar to move the initiative; drag bar edges to resize the date range
• Zoom — buttons to zoom from days to quarters

Kanban board

A status-column board with one card per initiative.

Best for:

• Weekly team syncs
• Identifying stuck initiatives
• Status updates
• Flow visibility ("what's actually moving?")

Key elements:

• Columns — Strategy / In Progress / Released / At Risk / Delayed
• Cards — drag to change status
• Section grouping — cards are also grouped by section within each column
• Filters — same filter set as Gantt (owner, priority, label, date range)

Toggling between views

The top-right view switcher has three options:

1. Timeline (Gantt)
2. Kanban
3. List (table view, useful for bulk editing)

Switching is instant; data is preserved across views.

When to use which

Situation	Best view
Board / quarterly review	Timeline
Customer-facing roadmap page	Now/Next/Later (a sub-mode of Timeline)
Weekly team sync	Kanban
"What's at risk?" question	Kanban filtered to "At Risk" + "Delayed"
Bulk-editing 20 initiatives	List
Capacity planning	Timeline + capacity sidebar

Sorting and structure

In both Timeline and Kanban, you can:

• Sort by priority — within each section, initiatives reorder; section structure stays intact
• Sort by owner — group by team member while keeping sections
• Sort by status — see "what's slipping" across all sections

Most roadmap tools force you to choose between sorting and section structure. Roadmap OS lets you have both.

Filtering

Filter buttons at the top:

• Owner — show only initiatives owned by selected people
• Priority — show only P0 / P1 / etc.
• Status — multi-select (e.g., "show only At Risk + Delayed")
• Section — focus on one or more sections
• Labels — multi-select labels
• Date range — preset or custom

Filters are saved per-user, per-view. They don't affect what other team members see.

Filter presets

Create named filter combinations for repeated use:

• "Q3 Mobile Only" (section=Mobile + dates=Q3)
• "Owner: Sabelo" (owner=Sabelo)
• "At-Risk Initiatives" (status=At Risk + Delayed)

Apply with one click.
