I want to see a GANTT view or other module view in Big Picture that shows sprints then tasks.

I have successfully brought the scope of our sprints in Big Picture but I can't get it to show a GANTT view that shows each iteration with it's constituent issues. I also have trouble getting most modules to show anything in a readable way.

Can I suggest that you put more how to videos on your web site etc. Yes you have documentation for Big Picture 8 but that's not exactly intuitive. Some of the best info I have found for big picture 8 is on other peoples sites.

Hi @Fred W

I am happy to hear that you decided to use BigPicture.
In the Gantt module, you can create a no-limited number of WBS levels. Task Structure can be created based on both build-in task attributes (e.g., Epic link, Component, Version, Sprint) as well as links.

Once the scope of the Box is created, you can build WBS based on sprints in 2 steps.

1. Please go to Box Configuration >> Tasks >> Scope Definition and select what types of issues you want to display in your project. In this specific case, please select Sprints, as on my image below:
   
2. Please go to Box Configuration >> Tasks >> Task Structure and enable adequate structure builders.
   
   

The task structure or hierarchy within a Box will be generated automatically by the App.

Here you can find the video tutorial presenting how to create desired task structure (WBS) in BigPicture/BigGantt. In this dedicated youtube playlist, you will find several tutorials regarding other modules as well. Moreover, if you would like to know more, feel free to join one of our bi-weekly, free webinars!
