Today we’re launching a timeline visualization of your project roadmap in Linear. This has been one of the more complex features I worked on in my career. Great teamwork with @paul_dijou @eldh https://linear.app/changelog/2...
Viewing projects in the context of time gives you a better understanding of what’s going on and when projects will complete. It’s also easier to plan for dependencies, such as when someone will free up to work on a new project and spot falling behind projects.
While a project is active, we'll generate an estimated completion date and show the projected date range on the timeline. These are the same estimates you see on project graphs and we calculate them using remaining issues and historical project velocity.
✨ **ProTip:** To see a specific project's graph without leaving the roadmap, press the space bar to launch peek while hovering over the project on the list or timeline.
Planning is essential, but adjusting live your upcoming projects realize is mandatory to stick with your product goal. Roadmap timeline is the tool that allows you to tackle tactical and strategic product decisions in the same view.
The roadmap timeline is now available as a feature preview. You can enable it using Cmd+K then search for "Timeline" it will show up under the Linear Preview section.
