Overview

Kendis Timeline is a hybrid planning and tracking tool built into the Kendis platform that combines a product roadmap perspective with a Gantt‑chart style execution view. Designed for scaled-agile environments such as SAFe, it visualizes milestones, features, and sprints across multiple program increments – giving stakeholders high-level visibility while allowing teams to track detailed progress.

Features and Capabilities

• Dual‑View Tracking: Offers both a product‑roadmap view (milestones, objectives, epics) and a Gantt‑style timeline showing features and stories across time.
• Automated Date Mapping: Story and feature start/end dates are automatically derived from sprint planning in Jira or Azure DevOps; manual adjustments are allowed through drag & resize actions.
• Group‑By Flexibility: Users can group timeline items by sprint, team, milestone, objective, parent epic, or custom backlog filters (e.g., area path, fix version) to suit reporting and review needs.
• Dynamic Progress Visualization: Feature bars display percentage complete based on done stories or story points, updated in real time as PI execution progresses.
• Interactive Editing: Timeline bars are interactive—drag stories to new sprints, adjust dates manually; supports both “By Sprint” and “By Date” views for planning flexibility.
• Milestones & Phases: Easily add milestone markers (single date) or phases (start and end dates) and color‑code them for clarity in roadmap planning.
• Scale Across Increments: Visualize and track across multiple PIs or release trains, with hierarchical support from portfolio epic down to story levels.
