A clear roadmap helps teams stay aligned, plan long-term work, and communicate progress to stakeholders.

In this guide, we’ll walk through the main ways to build and share roadmaps in Planyway.

If you need a quick snapshot of upcoming work, open the Timeline tab and group it either by user, space, epic, or component.

Planyway seamlessly syncs with Jira, so your scheduled work items appear on the timeline right away. If you don’t see them, check your date settings.

You can also drag tasks from the Task List on the right onto the timeline to schedule them, or create new ones directly by clicking anywhere on the timeline.

If you want to visualize work items across multiple Jira spaces, simply connect the required spaces in the left sidebar.

Use filters to display only work relevant to your roadmap. You can also create Saved filters to quickly switch between different filter combinations at any moment and share it with team mates.

If you work in a Scrum project, you can display sprints on the timeline to clearly see which tasks belong to each sprint.

You can also visualize releases (Fix Versions) from Jira on your roadmap. Releases appear as a progress bar, so you can easily track how work is progressing toward the release.

If you have important deadlines you want to highlight, you can create Milestones and place them on the roadmap.

Group the timeline by epics to visualize large initiatives and track progress with epic milestones.

Epic milestones help break long epics into meaningful stages and make delivery plans easier to understand. Here is more about it.

Visualize dependencies between work items so you can identify risks early and keep projects moving smoothly.

Once dependencies are linked, you can clearly see which tasks block others, detect potential schedule conflicts, and adjust timelines before bottlenecks appear.

Planyway makes it easy to share your roadmap with teammates, managers, or external stakeholders.

Set up the right view and click Share to send the link to the Jira users.

You can also export your roadmap to PDF to share it with non-Jira users or include it in presentations.

Easily plan and track your epics on a roadmap. You can quickly expand each epic to see which tasks are included and how they fit into the schedule.

Connect required Jira spaces in the left sidebar and group your roadmap by spaces to build a portfolio view.

You can see each team’s work items and milestones on a shared timeline, making it easy to track progress, manage workloads, and keep everyone aligned.

With the roadmap grouped by Jira users, you can easily see who’s working on what. Plus, Planyway’s extended workload features help you calculate and balance your team's workload. Here’s more about it.

The roadmap grouped by Jira components lets you organize tasks by features, modules, or areas of work. This is helpful for tracking progress on specific parts of a project and ensures that work is aligned with the overall structure.
