Plan

Topology

Explore your project as a tree, zoom into related cards, and return to the whole plan.

Last updated

Topology is a visual tree of your project. It shows how epics, stories, and tasks fit together, with the project at the top.

Understand the whole plan#

Use Topology when a new teammate asks how a task contributes to a larger goal. Start with the project overview, then explore the relevant epic and story.

Explore the tree#

  1. Open a project and choose Topology from the view menu.
  2. Find an epic in the overview. Double-click it to zoom into that part of the tree. Use a card's expand control to reveal its children, then explore a story's tasks.

  1. Use Zoom in and Zoom out, or the mouse wheel, to change the scale. Drag the canvas to move around.
  2. Click a card to see its preview. Open the card when you need to edit its details.
  3. Use Up a level to move back through the tree. The Topology levels breadcrumbs also let you return to an earlier level.

  1. Choose Fit to return to an overview of the whole topology.

Tips and common mistakes#

  • Topology reflects parent relationships. To change where a task belongs, edit its parent on the card.
  • Filters narrow the visible work. The count tells you when only part of the project matches.
  • + and - zoom the view. Arrow keys move between nodes when you are navigating the canvas. Escape moves up a level.
  • Use Hierarchy if you prefer an indented list of parents and children.
  • A link such as Blocks is a dependency between cards. It does not make one card the other's parent.
