Multi-team planning

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.

→ The rollout will happen gradually, and the previous navigation will be retired in September 2026.

Multi-team planning

Multi-team planning fields

You can allocate multiple teams to selected tasks to perform long-term planning without dividing initiatives into small tasks for separate teams. Calculate how many resources the plan requires and how many remain for other topics.

Two fields can be used:

  • Multi-team planning (Story Points)

  • Multi-team planning (Time Estimates)

The fields allow you to assign a team and its effort to a task:

Note: The multi-team estimates are stored in BigPicture and aren’t connected to any Jira field - they do not affect the estimate and team fields of tasks. This lets you later easily compare the initial plan to the actual execution. This lets you easily compare the actual work done to the initial plan later.
