Stack Ranking
Stack ranks give initiatives an explicit order. Each rank is a workspace-level list you define with filters and reorder by hand.
Stack ranking requires a paid plan.
Open stack rank
From the workspace roadmap, open the Stack rank tab next to Planned. Stack rank is workspace-scoped, so the tab does not appear on team roadmaps.
Create a stack rank
When no ranks exist, choose Create stack rank from the empty state or the header add button.
The create flow asks for:
- Name: how the rank appears in the tab bar and actions menu.
- Board items only: hides parent initiatives that exist only to group child work.
- Filters: which initiatives belong in the rank. Options include status, type (planned initiatives or bugs), priority, team, assignee, owner, taxonomy labels, parent initiative, and whether to hide parents that still have open child items.
Matching initiatives appear in the ranked table as soon as the rank is saved. Change membership later with the Filters button in the header.
Reorder initiatives
Drag rows in the ranked table or use the position stepper on each row to move an initiative up, down, or to a specific rank. Rank order is saved per stack rank and persists across sessions.
Search narrows the visible rows without changing the underlying order. Column visibility is also saved per rank, using the same roadmap column controls as the initiatives table.
Work with multiple ranks
A workspace can keep several stack ranks at once, for example one for sales demand, one for product bets, and one for engineering capacity.
When more than one rank exists, a tab bar below the header switches between them. Use the stack rank actions menu to create another rank, rename the active rank, or delete it.
Eligibility
Completed and Cancelled initiatives are excluded from matching and cannot be added manually.
For how priority levels differ from explicit rank order, see Priorities.
