Trimester Views on Roadmaps/Fields

Hi,

Problem

Occasionally we work with clients that plan on trimesters instead of quarters. Suggestions to change planning frequency around the product management tool have not gone very far :)

Opportunity

This idea represents a couple of spots where this could be added, but roadmap views would be preferred.

1. Roadmap Views (Custom, Starter, Strategy, Gannt)

   1. The timeline representation at the top able to show Trimesters

   2. The resolution able to show trimesters

2. Record Field Options

   1. For date fields with resolution modifiers (i.e. Release Month or Release Quarter) Trimester options would be helpful.

If it becomes noisy, perhaps a trimester vs. quarter setting could be added in org settings by FY format.

Workarounds

For point 1, our workaround is currently exporting to Powerpoint 🤮

For point 2, to add trimesters as a field, you can use a calculated field:

if(month(field("Feature due date"))>=9,year(field("Feature due date")) + " T3",if(month(field("Feature due date"))>=5,year(field("Feature due date")) + " T2",if(month(field("Feature due date"))>=1,year(field("Feature due date")) + " T1","Later")))
