- Set up custom fields that reflect your specific product development workflow and priorities.
- Type /timeline and select Timeline view to visualize your roadmap chronologically.
- Choose your previously created table as the data source for your timeline view.

- Assign owners to each feature or milestone to establish clear responsibility and enable collaboration on updates.
- Type /calendar and select Calendar view to get a month-by-month perspective of your roadmap.
