Hi @l1u2c3i4d5, thanks for posting your question and use case in the community! I’m not totally sure on what you’re describing -- do you mind sharing a screenshot of your work so far along with a bit more information of what you’re trying to do?

Hi @Addie ,

I am trying to create a dynamic roadmap by using the smart container.

Below it’s just an example on how it should look like.
Group by: Timeline (such as month, quarter, year and so on)

I think that if I want to do a multi-product roadmap, I should create multiple smart containers, but how to show a task/activity that cover 2 lanes? Should I, in some way, split that task to fit the specific lane? Such as Prod 1-1 in 2024-Q3 and Prod 1-2 in 2024-Q4?

Hi @l1u2c3i4d5, thanks for the response and additional information!

There is not currently a native way to have a smart container expand to multiple rows, but I can certainly see how this could be useful. If you have feedback on how we can improve smart containers or our product to better meet your use case, please feel free to share your idea with us in the product feedback section of the community.

Something you could try to visually associate the same product or project across multiple quarters could be to use color coding or even a line, as seen below. 

We have a couple of templates that could provide alternative ideas and hopefully serve as inspiration on how to use smart containers for a product roadmap:

• Product roadmap with Smart Containers example
• Roadmap Containers

You can search for many more template types here, in our template library!
