Autoschedule work items on your plan

The autoscheduler constructs a plan by balancing work item 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 autoscheduler plans work.

To get started with the autoscheduler, navigate to the Features page in your plan’s settings, then toggle the Autoscheduler on. Set up the autoscheduler, then:

1. Select the work items you want to schedule.

   1. By default, the autoscheduler works on all work items in your plan that have an estimation value. You can tell it to only work on certain work items by select them on your timeline view.

2. Select the autoscheduler in your plan using the next to View settings, confirm your settings, and then select Preview results to see suggested changes.

   1. If you don’t see the icon, make sure the autoscheduler is turned on.

3. Review the proposed changes. Hover on a field to compare the current values against the suggested changes.

   1. The autoscheduler will not overwrite any data for work items in an active sprint.

4. Select Accept changes to apply the changes.

5. Save your changes to view them outside of your plan using the Review changes button.
