Compare changes between two roadmap version
What is the challenge? |
My board and ELT routinely want to see the roadmap - and they want to know what moved from the prior meeting. |
How would you solve it? |
I would allow a roadmap version snapshot that would lock in the then current projects and delivery dates. From there, I could annotate with the reasons for any differences. |
What impact would it make? |
It would reduce several hours of tedious work to compare. Moreover, it would increase my ability to increase the frequency of these compares. |

We are a huge fan of this idea. Understanding scope creep/missed commitments is very important. The current History tab functionality is currently inadequate for a few reasons:
The History tab does not work on custom roadmaps where Goals are the primary record. This limits our ability to use the History tab on some of our Product Manager's custom roadmaps.
The information displayed in the History tab is not immediately useful.
Although you can group by 'Change' you have no ability to filter or sort. For example I cannot filter to only Epics/Features that were added/removed/changed to a new release. Being able to filter by record and change type would add a lot of value to this tab.
The History tab does not immediately show when the change happened. Although the events are sorted by date, it's not visually obvious that it is sorted by date. You are actually grouping by date + Change, not just by Change type. You have to click each history event to see when it happened.
There is no way to export or manipulate the records that appear in the History tab. You need to manually compile the records of interest with a separate document/spreadsheet, and the build your report in a tool outside of Aha. It would be more powerful if I could select the change events via checkbox to be included in a new custom pivot or something, especially when combined with additional filtering options. All of these suggestions combined would allow us to natively present "Recent Scope Changes" out of Aha.
I see it. I���ll have to play with it.
On the surface, I see what it is trying to do. But it appears to require me to enumerate through each item that changed. I���d like to create a report showing anything that changed since an ���as of��� date, and then filter by certain types of changes.
AFAICT, I have to click through each line item to determine if has board level relevance.
Hi Neal, thanks for your idea. What type of roadmap are you using?
We recently launched an update that allows you to track changes to your Features roadmap, with other roadmap types to follow soon. You can read about that update here: https://www.aha.io/blog/now-track-changes-to-your-roadmap
