A roadmap displays Jira work items on a timeline, helping you see what's planned, when work is expected to happen, and how it fits into the bigger picture.

You can create different roadmaps using the same Jira data by changing how work items are grouped.

Scheduled Jira work items appear automatically when their dates are mapped correctly.

You can also drag unscheduled work items from the Task List onto the timeline or click directly on the timeline to create new work.

Different groupings help you answer different planning questions.

By epic

See large initiatives and the work items that contribute to them. Useful for product roadmaps and feature delivery planning.

By space

Organize work across projects and create a high-level portfolio roadmap.

By assignee

See who's responsible for each work item and how individual schedules align.

By component

Organize work by functional areas, modules, or product components.

By Jira team

See work across teams and coordinate delivery.

By label

Group related work items using Jira labels, such as initiatives, priorities, or workstreams.

Use timeline zoom controls to move between short-term planning and long-term strategic planning.

Apply filters to hide unrelated work items and keep your roadmap focused.
