Can a Gantt chat view in Big picture be created using Sprint to determine the time line?

Currently I see that start and end date is used, However, I would like to have a view sprintwise.

Kindly let me know if this is feasible.

Hi @Anusha Rao

The Gantt chart is a very comprehensive module so it can be used as a Roadmapping tool.

On the timeline, you can display the duration of sprints, so you can easily identify which sprint a task is in. Take a look at my image below.

Moreover, you can use Sprints as a structure builder and display all tasks assigned to given sprints in your Program Box. To achieve that, first add issue type Sprint in Box Configuration >> Tasks >> Scope definition and subsequently activate Sprint builder in Box Configuration >> Tasks >> Task structure.

If you have more detailed questions, I will gladly provide you with the answer!

Best,

Thank you very much for your answer Anna,

option  'Timeboxes' really helped.

However, Say a user story is assigned in current sprint , and the start and end date is defined.

If  I move the user story to next sprint, and donot  change the start and end date, then in Big Picture, the timeline doesn't change .

Isnt it better if the timeline shows the current sprint of the user story instead of the start and end date.

Is there a way to do that @Anna-BigPicture.?

[Anna-BigPicture]

The plugin offers the option of "Precise alignment" which means that a task's period will align exactly with the box's period (e.g., Sprints). The fields mapped as start and end dates will get updated to match the boxes' start and end dates when a task is planned in one of the time boxes. 

To achieve it please go to Box Configuration >> Tasks >> Scheduling >> Set alignment on lower level. See my image as a reference. 

I hope that it answers your question. If you have any further, I am here to help.

Thank you so much! Is is possible to do this without the admin access?

Hi @Anusha Rao

Please be advised, that only a user with a minimum Box admin security role can access and change the Scheduling. Therefore please make sure that you are added as Admin in Box Configuration >> Security. See my image as a reference.

Hi @Anusha Rao

The following link shows you how you can set the sprint view and put the stories and tasks under it.
