Does Auto scheduler in Jira work in Kanban boards in advance roadmaps

[Shruti Rathore]

I am trying to setup a project in JIRA Kanban template. 

In advance roadmaps, I added all the estimates for each tasks and mapped dependencies among the tasks.

When I put in the start date for the first task and click on autoschedule, it doesnt create a right timeline with correct estimates. 

Even if the estimate put in is 5 days for a particular task, the timelines populates with different estimates. So the dates I get for project start date and end date are not correct.

Hi @Shruti Rathore welcome to the Atlassian Community!

To auto-schedule issues in your plan:

1. By default, the Auto-scheduler schedules all of the estimated issues in your plan. If you want to schedule certain issues, select them using the checkboxes in the Scope section.

2. Navigate to Auto-schedule and configure the auto-schedule settings. Learn about the Auto-scheduler configuration options.

3. Select Preview results to see suggested changes, as shown above. The schedule bars of auto-scheduled issues and their corresponding issue details will be shown with purple stripes. Hover on a field to compare the current values against the suggested changes. The number of auto-scheduled issues will depend on the hierarchy levels you've chosen for the plan.

4. Select Accept changes to create your plan. The Auto-scheduler will not overwrite any issues that are in a sprint that’s currently active.

5. Make your changes, then select Review changes.
