Timeline and Gantt View in is.team
What is the Timeline View in is.team?
The timeline view in is.team provides a Gantt-style horizontal calendar visualization for any kanban board. Tasks appear as colored bars spanning their start and due dates, grouped by column (status), assignee, priority, or type. Three zoom levels — day, week, and month — let teams view granular daily schedules or high-level quarterly roadmaps. Users can drag task bars to reschedule, resize them to change duration, and click to open the full task detail modal. The timeline automatically highlights today with a red marker line and shows unscheduled tasks in a collapsible sidebar panel. Task bars are color-coded by column status with distinct light and dark mode palettes. Type icons (task, bug, feature, story) and priority dots appear on each bar for quick visual scanning. The timeline syncs in real time — when one team member moves a task, everyone sees the update instantly.
How the Timeline Compares to Dedicated Gantt Tools
Unlike standalone Gantt chart tools like TeamGantt or GanttPRO, is.team's timeline is integrated directly into the kanban board — the same tasks that appear as cards in columns also appear as bars on the timeline, with zero duplication or manual sync. Compared to Jira's timeline (available only on Premium plans at $17.65 per user per month), is.team includes the timeline view on all plans including the free tier. The timeline supports drag-to-reschedule with automatic Firestore persistence, milestone markers for zero-duration events, and grouping by any task property. Sprint boundaries overlay on the timeline when sprint management is active, showing which tasks belong to which iteration. For teams managing multiple parallel workstreams, the infinite canvas allows placing several boards side by side, each with its own timeline view accessible via a tab switch.
