Introduction

Working with numerous tasks and large teams can be challenging, but the App can help you with assigning tasks and propose the best-suited assignee based on the following:

  • Resource's (Individual or Team) Skillset -

     Skills

     Skills weigh most in the algorithm,

    approx—70%

    approx.—70%.

  • Remaining Capacity -  Remaining   Remaining Capacity weighs the remaining 30%.

Finding a perfect match also works also when a user is not assigned to any of the teamsteam. In such a case, the availability is assumed to be 100%.

For best results, define the Required Skills to complete a Task on the Jira issue detail page.

How does BigPicture determine the best matching resource?

The App can propose up to five matching assignees and sort by relevance. The first on the list is the best match; , the second one is the second-best, and so on.

  • Resources matching

...

  • is cut off after the fifth-best one (the linear regression – statistical modeling – is used to determine the list of five).

  • You can assign both Individuals and Teams using this feature.

...

  • The five best candidates are proposed based on:

    • skills required to complete a task,

    • skills that an individual or team members have,

    • the remaining capacity of resources – individuals or teams. The remaining capacity is calculated depending on the mode that has been selected in the Resources module, namely Original estimate, Remaining estimate, or Story Points.

  • Skills weigh the most in the algorithm (approx. 70%), but the remaining capacity is important, too (30%).

  • If you don’t manage skills in Jira, then the Remaining Capacity is the only contributing factor.

  • The Remaining Capacity can be expressed as a time period or story points.

  • You can always reassign a task to another individual/team.
