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.

Important Note: This feature is available only for date-mapping projects.

Here’s how to get started:
