Auto-schedule not activatable

Damiano Agresti

Hello Community,

I can't understand why I can't activate the auto-schedule in my Plan. Here in the screen it instructs me to add the team to my plan, but they are already there. I've tried to compare settings from other plans but I just can't figure out how I need to fix it. Could you guys help me out?

Thanks,

Damiano

Hi @Damiano Agresti and welcome to the Community!

There is not enough information in your question or the attached screenshot to get a good idea of what is happening.

But, in short: the auto scheduler needs certain information before it can create a schedule:

• it needs issues that represent the actual work to be scheduled
• these issues must be estimated, otherwise it doesn't know how long they take
• and it needs to know who is going to do the work (your teams) and what capacity they have to do the work

Once you have these 3 items in place, they also need to be connected. Your issues must be assigned to the team that is going to do the work. Otherwise demand and capacity cannot be matched.

On the left hand side in your plan, check the timeline and teams views to make sure that the required data is indeed there. On the teams page, create a team, define its capacity and link it to an issue source if possible (if I am not mistaken, this will only work if you used a board as an issue source for your plan).

After that, check your auto schedule function on the timeline again.

Hope this helps!
