Scheduling mode
Configure the default scheduling mode per task type
You can configure the default scheduling mode for each task type, including extra tasks such as Jira epics, components, projects, sprints, versions, etc. This way, new task types you add to a box in the future will get the default scheduling mode. The configuration works per box or box type.
Setting the default scheduling mode does NOT affect the existing task types. This feature ensures that future task types added to a box automatically get the default scheduling mode.
Edit the default scheduling mode
To edit the default scheduling mode for Jira components, projects, sprints, and versions:
Go to Box configuration > Tasks > Scheduling.
Expand the Advanced configuration tab.
Click Edit next to the task type.
Select the scheduling mode.
Click Edit to save.
The video presents how to edit the default scheduling mode for Jira components.
Add the default scheduling mode for new task types
To add the default scheduling mode for a new task type:
Click Add task type.
Select a task type.
Select the scheduling mode.
Click Add to save.
The video presents how to add a new task type and set the default scheduling mode.
Delete the default scheduling mode for task types
To remove a task type and its default scheduling mode:
Jira components, projects, sprints, and versions are added automatically and cannot be deleted.
Find a task type.
Click Delete next to the task type.
Click Delete to confirm.
Limitations
A sprint task cannot have a scheduling mode set to auto bottom-up.
Enhancements
Automatic scheduling
Scheduling is triggered when absences are added/removed
Task position on a timeline dynamically responds to user absences.
Note: to activate the functionality, adjust the relevant settings.
New Resources module (beta)
The side panel has been redisigned
The new side panel on the Resources module lets you display not only tasks without dates but also tasks that are not assigned to an individual, a team, or a skill. This change makes planning based on teams or skills easier.
List of changes:
the panel was renamed - from “Unscheduled tasks” to “Backlog”
new columns have been added - Team, Skills
splash-screens have been improved
the appearance of the filters has been improved
