Body

I'm a big fan of the new GitHub Projects roadmap feature and am eager to integrate it more deeply into our workflow. However, one limitation is holding us back: the absence of an organization-wide roadmap view that displays all projects across teams, complete with start and end dates.​

Tools like Linear offer this functionality, providing a consolidated timeline view of multiple teams' projects. This capability is invaluable for organization-wide project managers, as it offers quick visibility into all ongoing initiatives, their milestones, and progress, facilitating better tracking and coordination.​

Currently, GitHub Projects allows for roadmap views within individual projects, but there's to my knowledge no native feature to aggregate these into a unified organizational timeline. While creating a centralized project that includes items from multiple repositories is a potential workaround, it becomes cumbersome and doesn't scale well for larger organizations.

Proposed Solution:

Introduce an organization-level roadmap view in GitHub Projects that:​

• Aggregates projects from multiple teams or repositories.​
• Displays start and end dates, milestones, and progress indicators.​
• Allows filtering and grouping by teams, departments, or custom fields.​

This feature would significantly enhance visibility across the organization, streamline project tracking, and align cross-functional teams more effectively.​

I believe this addition would make GitHub Projects a more robust tool for project management at scale.​

Thank you for considering this request.​

great enhancement request.

A good first step towards that would be to present a roadmap view for a list of projects. For instance, see https://github.com/danielgblanco/community/projects?query=is%3Aopen. This already has start/target dates from the underlying projects, and their status. Getting a roadmap view of that would be a great addition.

Possibly related. As a manger having to supervise several projects that are not always related, I would like a way to filter across projects, for example, to get a list of all tasks in a "waiting/blocked" column of the board that are assigned to me, ordered by due dates. Currently I would have to check the individual project one by one.
