Important Note: This feature is available only for date-mapping projects. |
Here’s how to get started:
Step 1:
Go to General Settings → enable “Plan with original estimation field” under Estimation fields.
Step 2:
After that, let's create an Issue → input the start date, end date, and original estimate → then assign it to an assignee to sync with TeamBoard ProScheduler.
Step 3: Once the task is scheduled, you can adjust start and end dates by dragging the task card in TeamBoard ProScheduler. The daily task duration will automatically adapt to maintain the original estimate.
