The Timeline is Everhour's modern visual planning workspace. Unlike the legacy Schedule section, Timeline syncs assignments directly with your connected project management tool, meaning that planned work in Everhour and actual task assignments in tools like Asana or ClickUp stay in sync automatically. This makes Timeline the single place where you can see both the plan and the execution side by side.
Project roadmaps
The roadmap view presents all your active projects as horizontal bars spanning a date axis, giving you an immediate visual sense of how your project portfolio is distributed over time. You can adjust a project's start and end dates by dragging the bar left or right, or by stretching either end to extend or compress the timeline. Within each project bar, tasks appear as nested blocks, allowing you to see the sequence of deliverables within a project at the same time as you're looking at the broader portfolio. Milestones can be set at key dates to mark important deadlines, client review points, or go-live targets. The roadmap view is shareable as a link, making it easy to give stakeholders a read-only overview of progress and upcoming delivery dates without giving them access to the full Everhour account.
Navigating the Timeline is intuitive — you can zoom in to see a day-by-day view when planning a sprint, or zoom out to a month or quarter view when reviewing the bigger picture. The date range selector at the top lets you jump to any period instantly. Color coding by project helps you distinguish work streams when multiple projects share team members, and a filter panel lets you narrow the view to a single project, a single team member, or any combination.
Team workload
The workload panel sits below or alongside the roadmap and presents each team member's scheduled hours per day as a capacity bar. The bar fills proportionally based on how many hours of assignments have been placed on that person for that day relative to their expected working hours. When a person is close to or over capacity, the bar changes color, providing an at-a-glance warning before over-allocation becomes a real problem. This makes it straightforward for a manager building a plan to identify which team members can take on more work and which are already stretched thin — without needing to open a separate report or ask anyone directly.
The workload view is especially useful when onboarding new projects or distributing incoming requests. Rather than guessing who has bandwidth, you can see actual availability for any date range and make assignment decisions based on data. Capacity thresholds are driven by the per-member working hours settings configured in the Team section, so the workload view automatically adjusts for part-time staff, contractors on reduced schedules, and anyone with approved time off in that period.
PM tool sync
One of the most valuable aspects of the Timeline is its bidirectional connection with supported project management tools. Assignments created in Timeline can sync back to the corresponding tasks in Asana, ClickUp, and other integrated tools — so the task's assignee and due date are updated in the PM tool automatically, without anyone having to make the same change twice. Conversely, when due dates or assignees change in your PM tool, those changes are reflected in the Timeline view. This two-way relationship means the Timeline is always an accurate reflection of your plan, not a stale snapshot that becomes out of date as soon as work begins. It also means that team members who primarily work in a PM tool see the same assignments as managers who primarily plan in Everhour's Timeline.
