h1. Roadmap 

 The roadmap provides a highly-configurable, version-based view on the issue tracking system that helps planning and managing the development of a project. 
 It also provides an in-depth (version-based) overview of the current state of your project. 

 h2. Overview 

 If you select the Roadmap you will get an overview of the current state of your project, like the following:

 The above mentioned view contains the following "blocks" of information for all (incomplete) versions: 
 * the version name 
 * the date the version is scheduled to be complete 
 * a progress bar progressbar which indicates overall active/done/closed-ratio based on the %-done and statuses of the issues targeted targetted to the corresponding version, visualized by different color gradients colour-gradients and including the date the version has been scheduled to be complete 
 the content of the wiki-page that has been configured to be attached to the version 
 * if configured: the content of the wiki-page that has been configured to be attached to the version (see below) 
 * if configured: a list of all the issues assigned to the specific version (see below) 

 The mentioned progress bar progressbar includes drill-down links to the issue-list which preloads the specific filters thus providing quick links to open/closed issues targeted targetted to a corresponding version. Simply click on the number left to *_open_* to see all open issues in the issue-list. If you like to know which issues are already solved/closed simply click on the number left to *_closed_*. 

 If you click on the version itself (0.8 right from the !/images/package.png!-icon), !/images/package.png!-icon) you can get a detailed view of the current, overall state of a specific version. This is the [[RedmineVersion|version-view]]. 

 h2. Managing the Roadmap 

 If you have the appropriate permissions you can change the Roadmap-view in two ways: 

 # You can attach a wikipage to the version (see [[RedmineProjectSettings#Versions]]) which can be used for describing main objectives of the version etc. 
 # You can select the trackers of which individual issues, which are targetted to the corresponding version, are listed in a way that you will see an area with all related issues directly under the version. This behaviour can be changed as an administrator in the area of the [[RedmineIssueTrackingSetup#Trackers|trackers]]. 

 h2. Sidebar 

 The contextual sidebar on the right of the roadmap provides several things: 
 * a checkbox to include completed target-versions on the roadmap 
 * checkboxes and an apply-button to include/exclude issues from specific trackers on the roadmap (which trackers are shown here with checkboxes depends on the individual [[RedmineIssueTrackingSetup#Trackers|tracker-configuration]]) 
 * links to the configured target-versions of the project where each links to the roadmap itself starting with the selected target-version
