Let’s look at different project roadmap examples as they are available in Bitrix24 in all plans, paid and free.
- Timeline project roadmap example. Project roadmap Gantt charts have one important advantage vs classic project roadmaps. All tasks (project parts) can be made dependent on each other. This is critical when you can’t start Part B of your project until Part A is completed. When you use timeline project roadmap template inside Bitrix24, if you have to move the end date for Part A of your project, the start date for Project B moves automatically. Awesome, isn’t it?
- Kanban project roadmap example. Kanban boards are frequently used for projects in Bitrix24. While they don’t typically have task dependencies (unless you use Bitrix24, we are the only tool that has both Kanban and dependencies together), they allow you to clearly visualize each step or milestone in your project. Again, here you break your project into tasks. Then you create Kanban board columns, which become your roadmap.
- Calendar project roadmap example. Bitrix24 comes with personal, company and workgroup/project calendars. This means that you can use traditional calendar grid for planning your entire project roadmap out. Again, simply break down your project into smaller parts (typically tasks or subtasks) and plan them as you’d usually do with calendar events or appointments. Using calendars for project roadmaps is tremendously effective in many projects. Some (many?) people don’t know what Kanban or Gantt are, but everyone knows what calendar is.

Task Management
Project management starts with tasks and in Bitrix24 tasks come in different shapes and sizes. Personal tasks, group tasks, sub tasks, repeating tasks, task templates and so on. Tasks and sub tasks are unlimited and you can delegate them to another person, if necessary. Checklists and workflow automation guarantee that nothing will be overlooked or forgotten.
Project management
Projects in Bitrix24 are unlimited, come with Gantt charts and employee workload planning, which lets you allocate specific number of hours and employees to a project and track time spent on it. There are different roles in Bitrix24 when it comes to projects, as you may control task set by you, assist someone or simply be an observer for a task that you neither set, nor is responsible for completing. Task counters show your project progress and if you are in danger of falling behind the deadline.
Time tracking
Don't you hate when project management vendors don't include time tracking tools into their solutions as if time doesn't matter? We certainly do. That's we've added an option to track time spent on each task, mandatory clock-in and clock-out, if necessary, flexible workday settings, daily todos, time reporting and other time management tools. Oh, and don't forget about personal, group and shared calendars that are available to you free of charge.
