Find the perfect match
Introduction
Working with numerous tasks and large teams can be challenging, but BigPicture can help you with assigning tasks and propose the best-suited assignee based on:
Resource's (Individual or Team) skillset - skills weigh most in the algorithm, approx. 70%.
Remaining capacity - remaining capacity weighs the remaining 30%.
Finding the perfect match also works when a user is not assigned to any of the teams. In such a case, the availability is assumed to be 100%.
Find the perfect match
Click on the task you want to assign, and a dialog with task details appears.
Click on the 'Shooting target'
icon next to the Individual, and the App will propose up to five assignees with the perfect match. In the example below, all the proposed assignees have the required skills.
Inactive users are NOT visible in the Find Perfect Match plugin. They are excluded by default.
How does BigPicture determine the best matching resource?
The App can propose up to five matching assignees and sort by relevance. The first on the list is the best match; the second one is the second-best, and so on.
Resources matching is cut off after the fifth-best one (the linear regression – statistical modeling – is used to determine the list of five).
You can assign both Individuals and Teams using this feature.
The five best assignees are proposed based on:
skills required to complete a task,
skills that an individual or team members have,
the remaining capacity of resources – individuals or teams. The remaining capacity is calculated depending on the mode selected in the Resources module, namely Original estimate, Remaining estimate, or Story Points.
Skills weigh the most in the algorithm (approx. 70%), but the remaining capacity is important, too (30%).
The remaining capacity can be expressed as a time period or story points.
You can always reassign a task to another individual/team.
