Planning with Original Estimate

Auto-Plan with Jira’s Original Estimate
Use this feature to streamline scheduling by leveraging Jira’s Original Estimate. Simply set the Start Date, End Date, and Original Estimate, and TimePlanner will automatically distribute the hours across the timeline—making project planning smarter and easier.

Important Note: This feature is available only for Jira Field Mapping Projects.

Here is how to get started:

STEP 1

Before using this feature, make sure Jira Field Mapping is enabled for your selected project in the app. If it hasn’t been activated yet, please refer to this guide for more detailed instructions.

STEP 2

Go to Settings → Select General tab → Enable ‘Plan with Original Estimation Field’ button.

STEP 3

After that, let's create an Issue → input the start date, end date, and original estimate → then assign it to an assignee → task will be allocated automatically within TeamBoard TimePlanner.

STEP 4

Adjust Task Dates with Ease
Once your task is scheduled, simply drag the task card to adjust the start and end dates in TeamBoard TimePlanner. The daily effort will automatically recalculate to stay aligned with the original estimate—no extra math needed!
