Advanced Roadmap - dependencies

amit_hergass

We are currently planning the project on Advanced Roadmap. I am looking for a way to use auto-scheduling based on the dependencies. 

My tickets (Tasks) have estimates but no Start and Due Dates yet, since I expect to get those from the Auto-Scheduling process. As a result, there are no bars on the roadmap plan, which means that I cannot create dependencies of the AR Plan. 

 So unless I will go out of the Plan and create the dependencies on the tickets, I will not be able to get the Auto-Scheduling working.

Is there a way to get plot the dependencies on the Plan without the Start/Due dates set, as this is the point of using Auto-Scheduling?

@amit_hergass yes there is definitely a way. Auto scheduling is done on basis of Story points, issue ranking, any dependencies and release dates if any.

You can achieve your goal in stages as below:

1. Do auto scheduling once and accept changes. It will do auto scheduling based on story points and Ranking in this first round.

2. Now when your timeline is filled with temporary schedule, add dependencies between issues. You will have click on start/end of bar against that issue to add dependencies.

3. Once dependencies are set, do auto schedule again. It will now schedule your timeline based on story points, rankings and dependencies.

Please note roadmap is a sandbox environment so you can as many changes as you want any number of times. It won't affect your actual jira project until you review and save changes to jira. To save changes in jira, review button is available on top right corner of plan.

 

Hope this helps.
