- Group related work into projects toward an outcome.
- Roll projects up to initiatives that represent a strategic theme.
- Read a roadmap timeline that stays honest because it's the same issue data.
01
Projects and initiatives
6 min — Group related work and roll it up to strategy.
A project groups related issues toward an outcome (a launch, a milestone). Initiatives sit above projects to represent a strategic theme that spans several projects, so leadership sees direction without drilling into every issue.
02
The roadmap view
5 min — A timeline that stays honest because it's the same data.
The roadmap renders projects and initiatives on a timeline. Because it reads the same issues your team works in every day, it can't drift from reality the way a hand-maintained slide deck does — progress updates itself as issues close.
