How

...

the mechanism works

BigPicture 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 Individualsindividuals and Teamsteams using this feature.

  • The five best candidates assignees are proposed based on:

    • skills Skills required to complete a task,.

    • skills Skills that an individual or team members have,.

    • the 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 original estimate, Remaining remaining estimate, or Story Pointsstory points.

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

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

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

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