Epics and their Features on one timeline — with dates and progress computed from the work your teams actually planned. Exportable to PNG for your next steering meeting.
If you used Microsoft's retired Feature Timeline & Epic Roadmap extension, Trailmap is the modern replacement: an epic-centric roadmap over Azure Boards, built for the questions leadership actually asks — what will be done, when, and how far along is it?

Why teams pick Trailmap over Delivery Plans
| Delivery Plans | Trailmap | |
|---|---|---|
| Nest Features under their Epic on the timeline | ✖ one row per team backlog | ✔ epic-centric tree |
| Items without dates or iteration | ✖ disappear from the plan | ✔ always visible, position derived from child items |
| Export | ✖ "take a screenshot" | ✔ one-click PNG for slides |
| Zoom | continuous only | ✔ sprint / month / quarter presets |
| Progress roll-up across projects | ✖ exists, but not across projects | ✔ works everywhere |
Delivery Plans is a fine sprint board for teams. Trailmap is the portfolio picture for people who plan quarters — and for the exec who just needs one slide.
Quarter view for the steering deck
Zoom presets (sprint / month / quarter), a today line, and milestone markers from target dates. Collapse any epic to a single roll-up bar:
What you get
- Epic → Feature timeline: position computed from child work items' iterations — no manual date bookkeeping, plans stay honest
- Dependency arrows that actually work: Predecessor → Successor links drawn as clean curves; when a successor starts before its predecessor ends, the arrow turns red — date conflicts stand out at a glance
- Progress roll-ups from real child work items, across projects
- PNG export — pixel-perfect, ready for PowerPoint
- Filters, search and saved views: team, area path, tags, work item type, title search and a hide-done toggle — personal views, plus org-shared views on the Org plan
- Drill through: click any row to open the work item without leaving the roadmap
- Shareable links: one click copies a link to the exact view — zoom, grouping and filters included — for the colleague who asks "which roadmap are you looking at?"
- Fast on real backlogs: smooth with 2,000+ work items, and resilient — a broken team or an unreadable project degrades gracefully instead of blanking the whole view
- Your data never leaves your tenant: read-only, runs in your browser with your identity; only your organization's anonymous ID is used to verify the license
Works with your process
Levels, states and ordering come from your process configuration (Agile, Scrum, CMMI or custom) — Epics and Features are whatever your portfolio backlog says they are.
