Defining a shorter duration for issues than one week?

[Eero Sario]

Is it possible to define shorter durations for issues than one week? Most of our tasks take less time to complete and this feature would allow me to queue individual developers' tasks on a timeline and it would provide a nice view of when all tasks would get completed (when following WIP=1 per developer)

Hi Eero, thanks for reaching out.

We do not presently offer this level of granularity for timelines on the Roadmap, but we do have an open feature suggestion for it on our backlog. Ideally, what time scale would you like to see?
We also have a suggestion to allow users to select specific date ranges to be displayed on the Roadmap, does this sound like it would address your needs?

Thanks Eero

Hi Seamus,

It would be great if I could define the duration in days - anything between 1...n. I feel this would a powerful feature e.g. in a following (quite often occurring) situation: if the current issue in progress takes more time than estimated, I could just drag its duration to reflect the actual time spent and that way all the following issues on the timeline for that given developer would move further to the future as well giving a good view on when the rest of the planned issues are estimated to complete.

This would also serve nicely situations where I would need to add new unexpected high priority issues to the middle of the queued issues and give estimate to product owners on what is the impact on deadlines for the other issues.

Having the ability to select specific time ranges to be displayed would not help as the need is to be able to define shorter durations for issues than one week as most of our issues take less time to implement.

Thanks for that additional context Eero, I have included it on the Feature suggestion on our backlog. Can you please reach out to me at support@easyagile.com so I can notify you via email if/when we release this functionality?

Thanks Eero!
