@Steven Gray just one question more. Do you have "Save tasks changes to Jira comments" disabled (on the very bottom of the page)? 

Hi @K. Yvonne Lucas Perhaps you should consider BigPicture/BigGantt. One Box may contain any defined collection of tasks based on a combination of multiple Jira projects, Jira boards, or Jira filters. That allows you to create not only fully adjusted (to your business needs) scope but also create relations between tasks…

Hi @eirens As @Patrick Farley mentioned in BigPicture/BigGantt, you have the possibility to display any issue types, including custom, regardless of linking to epics. Moreover, in a BigPicture/BigGantt within a Box, you can display any defined collection of tasks based on a combination of multiple Jira projects, boards, or…

Hi @Steven Gray While notifications are very useful and improve communication, when you create your Boxes and synchronize existing data, users might receive numerous notification emails. Therefore you can disabling the comments and notifications in Jira Administration >> Apps >> BigPicture Configuration >> General >>…

Hi @Pramodya Gamaethige I would like to ask you to specify what types of fields you would like to display in the Overview module? You mentioned custom fields in your previous post, and I would like to clarify if this text type of field or numeric with aggregations? Regarding adding Box description as a column - the work is…

Hi @Liam G. I will gladly answer your question! You can choose different mapping for, e.g., Start & End Date per Jira project by creating a separate configuration scheme—general settings are no longer apply to such Projects. See my image as a reference. The list of projects with custom synchronization is displayed in the…

Undoubtedly - the main advantage of this solution is the possibility of adjusting a Box scope to own business needs and create a defined…

Hi @Alasdair McKie The milestone level depends on what you would like to achieve. Meanwhile, waiting for Project Managers to share their practices, I would like to give you some technical tips regarding milestones in BigPicture. In BigPicture, you can convert a Jira issue into a milestone (represented as diamonds that do…

@Sofi de Zavalía Indeed, basic tasks can coexist with other tasks and work great as placeholders or temporary. However, please be informed that by default, they are placed at the very bottom of your task lists. Building the task structure using the Basic task can only be done manually using drag & drop or indent/outdent…

HI @Beatriz Nascimento Mendes I am happy that you started to work with BigGantt. Before starting to work with BigGantt, I encourage you to get familiar with the concept of Boxes for a better understanding of how the plugin works.

@Sofi de Zavalía The simplest way is to create Jira Filter that contained selected epics and their children. Once a filter is created and saved in Jira, you can add it to your Program scope in BigGantt (Program Box Configuration >> Tasks >> Scope definition). See my image as a reference. You can use the JQL query:…

@Brant Schroeder Every product upgrade/new features are introduced in BigPicture and BigGantt simultaneously. Of course, in the case of BigGantt, improvements regard only the modules available in this product.

@Fred W, everything depends on your particular needs. Please, be informed that you can manually move Sprints and place them in the most suitable place. 

HI @Sofi de Zavalía On which module can you not see epics from your scope? Of course, you can filter the Gantt view by using a simple JQL query: issuetype = Epic or create Quick Filter. BigPicture is bi-synchronized with Jira, so deleting an issue in BigPicture is equal to deleting it from Jira. However, you can adjust the…
