The Epics Roadmap page +shows such a visualization for all the epics which are under a group and/or its subgroups. + +![roadmap view](img/roadmap_view.png) + +A dropdown allows you to show only open or closed epics. By default, all epics are shown. + +![epics state dropdown](img/epics_state_dropdown.png) + +Epics in the view can be sorted by: + +- **Created date** +- **Last updated** +- **Start date** +- **Due date** + +Each option contains a button that can toggle the order between **ascending** and **descending**. The sort option and order will be persisted to be used wherever epics are browsed including the [epics list view](../epics/index.md). + +Roadmaps can also be [visualized inside an epic](../epics/index.md#roadmap-in-epics). + +## Timeline duration + +Starting with [GitLab Ultimate][ee] 11.0, Roadmap supports three different date ranges; Quarters, Months (Default) and Weeks. + +### Quarters + +![roadmap date range in quarters](img/roadmap_timeline_quarters.png) + +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 + +![roadmap date range in months](img/roadmap_timeline_months.png) + +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 + +![roadmap date range in weeks](img/roadmap_timeline_weeks.png) + +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. |
