Meet the new BigPicture navigation
A faster, smarter, and more intuitive way to work is here. We’ve redesigned BigPicture navigation to give you a smoother experience and better access to what matters most.
→ Discover what’s new, explore key improvements, and review feature name updates on the New navigation page.
→ The rollout will happen gradually, and the previous navigation will be retired in September 2026.
Resources module - change the assignee by drag-and-drop
Team 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.
The auto-team assignment mechanism works only when the assignee is changed for already existing tasks and does not work for newly created tasks.
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.
