Team set based on task assignee

The task is automatically assigned to the team based on the task assignee.

Trigger

Change of the task assignee.

Conditions

• The "Tasks assigned to an individual are auto-assigned to their team" functionality is enabled. 

• The task is in the scope of the box. 

• The assignee is in only one team in a box. 

• The assignee must be available in the team (has an active membership in a given task period).

• Recalculation of the team takes place only when the task assignee is changed in BigPicture or Jira.

Limitations

The automation is not run:

• If the assignee is in more than one team in a box.

• The task is in the sub-scope (sub-box such as Iteration) and the scope definition is different for each team (avoiding the endless loop of team assignment).

Recalculation is NOT triggered when:

• The team membership changes:

  • The assignee is moved to another team in the box.

  • The assignee is added to another team in the box.

  • The assignee is removed from another team in the box.

  • The assignee is removed from a team (to which the task is currently assigned).

• The task period changes (the assignee's membership is no longer in the task period). 

Deleted team

When a team is deleted from a box, the task is placed in the 'unknown' team swimlane.
