Troubleshoot warnings on your timeline in your plan

This page refers to the advanced planning features that are only available as part of Jira Software Cloud Premium and Enterprise.

We have a separate section for documentation about the project timeline that’s included in all Jira Software projects. Go to the documentation for project-level roadmaps in Jira Software.

As you schedule work for your teams, your plan will warn you if there are any misaligned dates. This page discusses common causes of warnings, and how to resolve them.

Starts before parent

If you set dates for issues that don't align with the dates of their parent, your plan will generate a warning highlighting the conflict, as shown below:

To resolve this, adjust your dates so that the child issues fall within those of the parent. This also applies when using sprint dates in the plan.

Target dates set beyond the due date

Depending on how your plan is configured, you may also see Due dates from the issue sources in your plan. If you set a target end date that extends beyond the assigned due date, your plan will generate a warning, as shown below:

To resolve this, adjust the target end date or the due date.

Unresolved issue after target end date

your plan will warn you when an issue has already passed its end date.

To resolve this, update the status of the issue or its end date. If the unresolved issue is in progress, you'll be prompted to do one of the following:

  • Move the issue status back to TO DO

  • Add the issue to a different sprint

  • Reschedule the issue to a later end date
