How does it work?
BigPicture displays Trello Cards in the form of as Tasks, which can be easily efficiently allocated on the Gantt chart accompanied by the WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) panel. Since Cards are allocated to Boards, we could take an approach in which a Board represents a certain particular project. This Power-Up can display a number of many Cards from multiple Boards (projects) in the form of as Tasks on the Gantt chart.

Good to know before you start
A card in Trello is not like a task in BigPicture.
Trello cards have only a Due date field that indicates when a card is "due" (this can be considered a card's planned end date). Trello doesn't store information about
...
the start date of a card. BigPicture requires both – a start date and an end date –
...
to visualize it on the Gantt chart.
...
By pulling a card into the Gantt, BigPicture gets its
...
due date and maps it to BigPicture's
...
end date field. If such a card
...
has no Due date, BigPicture sets it accordingly to the next day. That is because it
...
cannot determine
...
the length of a card on a timeline
...
. As BigPicture also needs to pick a date to map it to the Start Date field, a card's creation date becomes the task's Start Date. This way, a Trello card can be displayed on a Gantt's grid. However, here comes the tricky part.
If a user sets a Due date to the past and a card's date of creation is later than
...
the Due date, then such a card becomes a task with the duration of one day after being pulled into the Gantt. Why is that? BigPicture seeks for the
...
dates above and faces a situation when Start Date is later than the End Date
...
, which, in terms of displaying tasks in the Gantt, is
...
wrong. To overcome this, the Power-Up
...
corrects dates and changes a task's End Date to a Start Date
...
to meet
...
an essential logic condition – Start Date cannot be later than End Date.
...
Due to the End Date's change, a Trello card's Due Date also changes.
For some Trello users, such a change may
...
significantly impact
...
what they have worked on
...
before.
