Creating scheduled tasks

To create scheduled tasks, you can do so in the Planning tab if you are a main manager or have a section of the plan delegated to yourself.

In addition to adding scheduled tasks individually, you can also create multiple tasks at once by pasting text from your clipboard. See Creating items from clipboard.

1. Make sure that you are currently using the Gantt scheduling mode. For more information, see Switching between Agile and Gantt scheduling modes.

2. Click Scheduled task.

A new blank task is added to the list.

3. Select the task and use the Item Details section to add information about the task, including giving it a Description.

Changes are saved immediately, so if you use the Assigned to field to delegate the task to a user, the task will instantly appear in their To Do List. For more information on this section, see Viewing and editing item details.

4. Use the Start and Finish options to set the dates when the task should be started and completed.

Setting these dates automatically updates the Duration field to show the number of days you selected. If you edit this field, it will automatically adjust the Finish date.

When working with the Fixed work method, the duration of a task is specified by the assigned user and the budgeted work hours. See Fixed duration vs. fixed work scheduling methods.

5. To tag the task to a release, right-click it and hover over the Tag to release option.

A list of releases appears, and selecting one will commit the bug to that release. For more information, see Releases.

6. If the new task is dependent on another task being completed first—or another task is dependent on this one—you can connect them. For more information, see .
