How Plan (Advanced Roadmaps) assigns capacity when epics and child issues have been estimated

[Igor Koltun]

Given:

• Plan for the team, Estimates Epics and child issues. Also, the start date and End date have been chosen for Epics and child issue
• Team Capacity have been chosen

As-Is:

• Projected Sprints allocates team capacity taking into account Epics and child issue estimates 

Question: 

How to set up the Plan so that only estimates from epics are considered in the Projected sprints?

[Walter Buggenhout]

Hi @Igor Koltun and welcome to the Community!

To be honest, I don't think this is going to work. Epics are not planned in sprints (from a scrum board, Epics appear on the epics panel in the backlog and can't even be added to a sprint), and it is even a common scenario that work on an epic spans multiple sprints.

It may be interesting to read up on the following documentation to learn how Plans deal with capacity:

• How your plan assigns capacity 
• How the auto scheduler works 

Hope this helps!
