Schedule Warnings
When generating schedules, sometimes you might receive a warning message. Use the guide below to address the warning messages.
- Note: If the warning sign exists on the Epics table but not on schedule warnings, click the Reload button to synchronize. This may erase the sign.
| Warning | Reason | Resolution |
| The dependency was not scheduled: <epic_name> | Epic has a dependency with the name <epic_name>, but it was not scheduled here or on previous timeboxes. This creates a risk during execution. | Add the necessary dependency epic to the same timebox or timeboxes that precede in time. |
| Team <team_name> does not have resource to complete this activity: <activity_type> | Two things happening at the same time: 1. One of line items in the epic’s high-level estimate has a record with the activity type <activity_type>. 2. Team <team_name> was assigned to the timebox, but it does not have any resource with the responsibility capable to perform this <activity_type>. In this situation, the system can’t schedule this team to work on this epic. | Perform these steps: 1. On Teams page, find or create a responsibility that can perform the activity with activity type <activity_type>. 2. Then find a team with the name <team_name> and assign a resource with that responsibility. |
| Team <team_name> does not have enough calendar time to work on this issue. Number of work days necessary: <number> | The team is occupied with other epics and does not have enough capacity to work on this epic, or the timebox is too small for that epic to be completed. | Extend the timebox end date by <number> (+ weekends and holidays), or increase daily capacity for <team_name> on the Teams page. |
| The epic is missing a high-level estimate. | A high-level estimate is required for automatic scheduling. | Options: 1. Edit this epic and add high-level estimate records. 2. If high-level estimates are not available it is possible to schedule the epic in manual mode. In that case, click on the epic and open the “Schedule” tab in the right sidebar. Switch to manual schedule mode, select the start and end dates, and choose the desired team to execute. |
| No teams available to complete this ticket. | The Timebox doesn’t have any teams. | Add teams to the timebox. To create a team, refer to the Teams page. |
