Some features in the home screen portfolio overview are not optimized for long running product development:
1) View is limited to 2 years. Our need is up-to 7 years! Minimum 4 years.
2) Each bar should have it's title always visible. Now it is often hidden, since it is right aligned at the end of the bar.
3) Each on-going product development should be visible in the view. Now long leadtime bars disappear, if there are no events within the view time range.
The status of this idea was out of date. Since this idea was created we have made several improvements to the portfolio roadmap.
The timeline can now be customized to include any date range needed
The release names shown on the bars will always remain fully visible when the bars are visible on the roadmap
Theoretically, our view is 2 years. Practically, it risks to be longer. The overview timespan should be a user definable parameter.
