How to Navigate the Timeline

Step 1: Open Agile Resource Management

Go to Global menu >> Agile Resources
You will see a timeline with projects and teams listed on the left, and dates across the top
Projects and their assigned teams are displayed as color blocks

Step 2: Choose a Time View

At the top right of the timeline, use the view switch:

Day – Shows daily breakdowns (good for short tasks or events)
Week – Displays one line per week (most commonly used view)
Month – Best for high-level planning

Switching views helps you adjust the zoom level of your planning.

Step 3: Use Display Options

Click the three-dot icon on the top right to open view settings. You can adjust:

View mode – Choose between “Normal” (with full task/team data) or “Compact”
Global events – Show or hide holidays, company events, etc.
Skills – Show or hide team skills next to each user
Fullscreen – Turn fullscreen mode on or off for better visibility

Step 4: Use the Timeline Scroll

Use the horizontal scroll bar to navigate through weeks or months. You can also use your mouse scroll to move along the timeline.

Step 5: Understand the Visual Layout

Each bar/block on the timeline represents a team’s or user’s active time on a project
Colors differentiate project phases or delivery types
Hovering over a bar shows more details (task, user, duration)

Conclusion

The Agile Resource Management timeline is flexible and lets you switch between short-term and long-term views. With just a few clicks, you can choose what data you want to see and zoom in on the most relevant delivery periods.
