Auto-schedule issues on your plan
This page refers to the advanced planning features that are only available as part of Jira Cloud Premium and Enterprise.
The auto-scheduler constructs a plan by balancing issue details based on your plan settings. You can then adjust the generated plan to meet your exact needs. For a full understanding of how this works, we recommend that you read our documentation page about how the auto-scheduler plans work.
To get started with the auto-scheduler, navigate to the Features page in your plan’s settings, then toggle the Auto-scheduler on. Set up the auto-scheduler, then:
Select the issues you want to schedule.
By default, the auto-scheduler works on all issues in your plan that have an estimation value. You can tell it to only work on certain issues by select them on your timeline view.
Select the auto-scheduler using the next to View settings, confirm your settings, and then select Preview results to see suggested changes.
If you don’t see the icon, make sure the auto-scheduler is turned on.
Review the changes proposed by the auto-scheduler. Hover on a field to compare the current values against the suggested changes.
The auto-scheduler will not overwrite any data for issues in an active sprint.
Select Accept changes to apply the changes. From here, your changes can be saved using the Review changes button.
Your plan is a sandbox environment meaning that any changes you make won’t be committed back to your Jira work items until you choose to do so.
