Freeze swimlane & timeline titles

Can we get an update on this feature request if you are actually going to add it to the design queue or another alternative such as a watermark in the swim lane?  When presenting larger swim lanes it is virtually impossible to know which lane you are walking through.

Hi @tina baker, thanks for your question! This idea has been marked for “future consideration,” which means that the product development team isn’t currently working on this but might revisit in the future, and you’re welcome to continue adding feedback to it.

This feature is ABSOLUTELY necessary! 

This feature is really needed!

A lot of our processes extend beyond a single screen or we have more swimlanes than fit to a single screen. Specifically while driving process mapping sessions virtually, it gets confusing for the team when I have to stop and scroll back to where the swimlane header is so we all know who is performing the activities in our process diagrams. The team is always asking these questions during our calls, to check who the activity box is for. And I always have to double-check that I’m adding a new activity box to the correct swimlane by panning out and back in.

Another problem is on RACI templates or any chart, for the same reason. It’s difficult for the team to reference or make updates when we have to keep scrolling all the way up to view the headers to make sure we are populating the information in the correct column.
Thank you.

I am using Lucidspark to create a program board for all of the work across workstreams/teams by sprint, to better identify dependencies and work against milestones. It’s very difficult to go over the board with teams without this feature in place; and also difficult to do this beyond a few sprints. Being able to lock certain parts of the table would be amazing in helping faciliate this better; it would also make it wasier to do user story mapping (see Avion as a great example of how this works!)

Just wondering if there has been any progression on this potential feature please - it is very laborious and often confusing to the client when walking them through swim flows as you have to keep reminding them of which lane we are in - even as the person who creates the flow i still sometimes need to remind myself of which lane i am in and so have to scroll back to the top - i suspect that it is adding about 30% extra time on to my mapping process - and so would imagine similar when presenting

@sarahgeoghegan Thank you for this additional context - I understand how this would be an improvement to your workflow. I don’t have an update to share on a possible timeline for implementation here, but we remain incredibly grateful for your insight!

Agree this is still very much needed!
