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.

BigPicture offers several ways to create tasks, giving you flexibility based on your needs and workflow. You can choose the following options:

  • Import from a file - import your task templates from tools like MS Project, MS Excel, CSV, or OpenDocument files. The option is available in Gantt and Scope modules.

  • Create tasks - create Jira issues and basic tasks directly in the Gantt, Scope, or Board's backlog.

  • Clone existing scope - use your existing boxes as templates and clone the scope to a different box.

  • Task templates - predefined templates of basic tasks that you can use to create simple schedules to arrange your data into phases and stages or represent external providers' tasks.
