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.
Holiday plans
You can create unlimited holiday plans to reflect the holidays and observances. Each non-working day resulting from the holiday plan reduces the capacity (daily capacity to zero) of the assigned resource or the team.
BigPicture can calculate tasks automatically based on the assignee's working days. Jira admins can enable this feature in the BigPicture configuration.
The holidays can be grouped into a set, such as European holidays. If the organization also has offices in the United States, a holiday set can be created for that region. This expedites the planning process as information is easily accessed across the organization.
Security and access
Only a person with the App admin or App resource admin security role can access this page.

Holiday modes
The table below shows the difference between available modes:
Holiday mode | Description |
|---|---|
Non-working days | The non-working days of the week are marked with a grey circle. |
Fixed mode | Dates are automatically moved to the next year and marked with a red circle. |
Floating | Dates are not automatically moved to the next year and are marked with a blue circle. |
Extra working days | The extra days are marked with a white circle. |
You can view all the holidays and inline edit the holiday name field:
Default holiday plan
Each task assignee is automatically assigned to the default holiday plan once a task is added to the box's scope or when the currently assigned plan is deleted.
