Available swimlanes
The new view lets you organize data into the following swimlanes:
Swimlane | Result |
|---|---|
Individuals | People assigned to tasks (assignee) |
Teams | BigPicture teams (go to the teams module to review the teams). |
Projects new | Sub-boxes (for a project box that would be lower-level boxes, such as Program Increments, Iterations, Stages, Sprints etc.; for a portfolio box those would be project boxes in a portfolio) |
Skills New | BigPicture skills assigned to tasks |
You can use the Resources module to view the utilization of your Resources on the Individual or Team levels. This is where you can plan your team’s work or assign tasks to team members. A simple drag-and-drop mechanism makes task assignments easy and intuitive.
Use drag-and-drop
Change the task period
Use drag and drop re-position a task on the timeline – simply drop the tasks into a new spot.
Move task between swimlanes
Use drag-and-drop to change the task:
assignee
team
skill
Note: you can’t use drag-and-drop to move a task between project rows.
Tasks without a value are in the "Unassigned" row.
Remember:
assigning a task to a team doesn't result in assigning it to a person.
assigning a task to a person doesn't always assign a task to a team (read more about the settings on Team set based on task assignee page).
Click on a task to see a pop-up Box and easily check the team and assignee details. Use the find a perfect match feature to assign a task to a team or assignee.
Only active team members are visible in the swimlanes. Once an individual resource is no longer a member of the team, the Box Admin should close their team membership.
Liam is a member of "Team Smartwatch" but his membership start date is set to 1st of August 2021.
He is not listed in June, because his membership hasn't started yet:
But is listed during his team membership period:
Teams - "Unknown"
Most tasks are either unassigned (no team assigned) or are assigned to a particular team.
When the assignment is unclear, a task is placed in the Unknown category (below the "unassigned" row):
"Other Box team" → a task has been assigned to a team, but that team doesn't exist in the context Box (the team hasn't been added to the Box you're in). The task is in the scope of another Box - in that Box, the task is already assigned to a team.
"Unknown" → team information can't be matched to any existing Boxes that contain a task (the task has been assigned team information, such as a team code; however, no matching team has been found in any Boxes the task is in).
"Undetermined" - in the app, multiple teams have the same information (team code). The app can't determine which team the task should belong to.
