QUEST LOG

Redesigned Advanced Roadmaps navigation in Jira, with the Refine your view panel open over the roadmap timeline
01Overview

The Advanced Roadmaps team faced a growing challenge as new features were continuously added, leading to an overcrowded navigation system. Users found the interface overwhelming, making it difficult to locate essential features and effectively manage their roadmaps. To address this issue, we conducted research to determine the impact on users and secure leadership approval for a redesign.

02Problem

Users create a roadmap for their team and are frustrated because they are unable to use the full realestate of their screen to view their roadmap. They struggle to use and understand the functions of Advanced Roadmaps.

03Solution

Redesigned the navigation to optimize screen real estate, simplify access to controls, and reduce visual clutter—enabling a more focused and efficient planning experience.

04Impact

70% of users adopted the new navigation while workflows stayed uninterrupted. Low-usage components moved to dropdowns, optimizing screen space, and 7 extra Jira rows gave teams better visibility.
