List and Timeline views

List and Timeline views

The board is for working a sprint; these two views are for everything the board is bad at. The List is every ticket as a table you can slice and bulk-edit. The Timeline lays work out over time.

The List view

Every ticket in one table, with the controls that make a table useful:

  • Filters to narrow by whatever you need, and Include done when you want history rather than just open work
  • Group by to fold the table into sections
  • Copy key / copy link on any row, and Create issue without leaving the view

Bulk edit

Select multiple tickets and change them in one action — status, assignee, priority, or epic. This is the tool for the jobs that are miserable one ticket at a time: re-assigning a leaver's tickets, sweeping a finished feature's stragglers into Done, or re-triaging priorities after a plan change.

Bulk edit is powerful in exactly the way that deserves a second look before you press it: fifty tickets change as easily as one, and each edit lands in every ticket's history.

The Timeline

The Timeline shows work laid out over time — releases at the top (collapsible), sprints as bands beneath, tickets with their progress and assignee, and dependencies marked where one piece of work waits on another.

Use it when the question is about time rather than status: what's in flight this month, in what order, and what is waiting on what? It is the view for planning conversations and for spotting the dependency that quietly makes the deadline impossible. You can add tasks directly from it.
