How to Plan Tasks on the Schedule Board

1. Planning Tasks from the Issue Box

The Issue Box contains tasks that you have planned for your project in Jira Board, including the Jira backlog.

To assign and plan a task for a member: Open the Issues Box, apply the basic filter or JQL to locate the issue, then drag and drop it onto the member's calendar.

TIPS: You can search by project and planned status to ensure that the project is progressing according to schedule and meeting its objectives

2. Planning Tasks from the Planning Dialog

A straightforward method to plan a task, without needing to drag an issue from the Issues Box, is to use the Planning Dialog.

Click on a date or select a range of dates on the calendar to open the 'Plan Issue' dialog. Here, you can either plan for an existing issue or create a new issue and add it to the plan.

3. Automated Task Planning based on Original Estimate

With this update, you can automatically plan tasks using Jira’s Original Estimate. Just set the task’s start and end dates along with the original estimate, and TeamBoard will divide the estimated hours across the duration, simplifying project planning.

Info

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.

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.
