The logic behind timeline View
Gantt Chart and Product Roadmap are effective ways for tracking multiple PIs. Both of them have their limitations and are used for different reasons, as listed below.
Gantt Chart- Focuses more on the daily tasks that need to be done by the teams
- Used mostly by development teams
- The ability to track dependencies
- More linear and not adaptable
- Gives a dynamic view of what task needs to be achieved
- Cannot be used to show the budget for completing a Product or Project.
Timeline View- Focuses on high-level goals that need to be done by the organization and their final outcome
- Used mostly by product owners, managers, and stakeholders
- Cannot track dependencies
- More agile and adaptable
- Gives a static view of the Products that need to be achieved
- Can be used to show the budget allocated on achieving the desired result.
Product Roadmap View
It is quite clear that both Gantt Charts and Product Roadmap are useful in providing value for tracking. The main power of the Kendis Timeline Feature is in its ability to have a Product Roadmap view along with the Gantt Chart.
Measure up with milestones
The Product Roadmap view can be made of milestones. A milestone marks the achievement of a significant aspect of a product’s development.
Create milestones
These milestones can be created in Kendis where each milestone consists of features that are in your Kendis Backlog. The milestone can be treated as a complete project or a part of incremental delivery.
Sort by milestones
These various milestones can be selected and then grouped into providing a Product Roadmap view. Not only you can have a Product Roadmap view by using milestones rather you can select and group objectives and epics to get a Product Roadmap view.
