Progress
The Progress tab answers a question that is hard to answer from memory: what changed on this roadmap, and when.
What it does
Progress keeps an automatic change log. As you edit the roadmap — statuses, priorities, owners, target periods, blockers, added and removed items — Roadmap Flow records each meaningful change. You never start a tracker; it is always on.
You read the log through five time windows: Session, Today, This week, This month, and All. A label below the selector shows the active window and the total number of changes, so you always know what the tiles and log are summarising.
Summary tiles count the signals that matter — items added, completed, blocked, delayed, priority changes, owner changes, decisions added, and total changes. Clicking a non-zero tile jumps to those items on the canvas. The change log groups by day and each day can be collapsed.
Section order
| Section | Purpose | |---|---| | Time window + summary tiles | Understand the shape of change | | Change log | Read the detail by day | | Milestones | Save a snapshot before a review | | Export progress report | Send the window as a report | | Team attribution | See who changed what (Team) | | Saved views | Recall a canvas configuration (Pro) |
When to use it
- Before a stakeholder meeting, to prepare an honest "here is what moved".
- In a weekly update, to summarise the week without trusting memory.
- To save a milestone snapshot before a review starts.
- To export a progress report.
When not to use it
- When you need to compare the roadmap against a specific past commitment — that is a milestone, not the rolling log.
- For per-person attribution on a single-user workspace. The log records what changed; the "By [name]" label only appears when a Display name has been set in Account → Display name.
Reading change log rows
Each row shows:
- A bold item title and what changed (before → after).
- A category label (Blocker, Completed, Delayed, Priority, Owner, etc.) and the relative time the change happened. Hover the time to see the full date and clock.
- A left-edge stripe indicating severity: red = critical, amber = major, blue = minor, gray = observation. Severity is calculated automatically.
- Clicking a row (for item changes) opens the item detail view.
Summary tile drill-down
Each summary tile with a non-zero count has a chevron icon and is clickable. Clicking switches to Canvas, highlights the changed items with a blue ring, and auto-scrolls to the first one. A banner above the filter bar shows the count and a Clear button.
Change attribution (Team attribution section)
The Team attribution section (Team plan) is a searchable, filterable log of every change attributed to a team member by name. This is separate from the automatic change log, which records what changed regardless of who was signed in.
Team members appear in attribution when they had a Display name set at the time of the change. Members without a Display name appear as unnamed. Ask them to set one in Account → Display name — past changes cannot be retroactively named.
3-minute flow
- Open the Progress tab.
- Pick a time window — This week is the usual choice for an update.
- Check the summary tiles for the shape of change.
- Expand a day in the change log to read the detail.
- If you are about to run a review meeting, scroll to Milestones and save a snapshot now so you can compare before and after.
- Export the window to Markdown, PDF, or PowerPoint for your audience.
Best use cases
- "What changed this week" updates.
- Reviewing roadmap movement before a meeting.
- A written progress report drawn from real history.
- Saving and comparing milestones around a review cycle.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting to check the window label. A quiet log often just means the window is too short — switch to This week or All.
- Saving a milestone after the meeting instead of before — the comparison loses the pre-meeting baseline.
