The scheduling mode determines whether a task is scheduled manually or automatically, which gives you the option of deciding how much control you want over task scheduling in a Box. By default, tasks are automatically scheduled (the scheduling mode is set to 'Auto basic' for all newly added tasks when you create a new Box), but you can change this. BigPicture PPM for monday.com can schedule the task based on dependencies, task structure, and other factors. To learn more about the scheduling rules, go to this page. (dodać LINK!!)

There are five different modes explained further below:

...

  • Parent in ‘auto basic' do NOT adjusts automatically based on its children dates.

  • If the parent is in 'auto basic' mode but superior element in WBS does NOT allow it, then the children may not be allowed to change start or end date. (to be confirmed yet with PM)

Auto bottom-up mode

...

Auto bottom-up mode is similar to Auto basic. Parents adjust automatically based on children’s task dates.

This mode can be used on parent tasks to have an overview of how date changes of the given task within the initiative affect its duration. (TBD with Marcin)

Parents in Auto bottom-up mode do NOT react to dependencies as their dates are based on children’s task dates, not dependencies. But parents can be moved on the Gantt timeline, and children’s task dates will move, as well.

...

For example, if you move parent in Auto bottom-up mode for the task in Manual mode manually, it will move the task, too.

  • Parent task in 'manual mode' shows the start/end date of the issue as set in Jira.

  • Children tasks can exceed the start/end date of the parent tasks and it will NOT change the start/end dates of the parent task. You can enable the period warnings to see the recalculated position of the parent task.
