Working with numerous tasks and large teams can be challenging, but BigPicture can help you with assigning tasks and propose the best-suited assignee based on the following:

- Resource's (individual or team) [skillset](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/297603427) - skills weigh most in the algorithm, approx.—70%.
- [Remaining capacity](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/298224554) -  remaining capacity weighs the remaining 30%.

Finding the **perfect match**  also works when a user is not assigned to any team. In such a case, the availability is assumed to be 100%.

For best results, define the required skills to complete a task on the Jira issue detail page.

## Find the perfect match

To use the **Find the perfect match **feature:

1. Go to the Resources module.
2. Click the task that you want to assign.
3. A dialog with task details appears. When you enable the skill panel, the **Required skill** section appears in the dialog.
  
4. Click the icon** **next to the Individual. BigPicture will propose the perfect match.
  

> ℹ️ Tasks assigned to both individuals and teams that the individual is not a part of are marked in yellow, and you can see a warning informing you about the steps to be performed.

> ℹ️ Inactive users **are NOT** visible in the find perfect match results. They are excluded by default.

You can also find the perfect match by using the [skill widget](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/298158936), which you can find on the issue details page just below the **People **section.

## How the mechanism works

BigPicture propose up to five matching assignees and sort them by relevance. The first on the list is the best match, the second is the second-best, and so on.

- Resources matching is cut off after the fifth-best one (linear regression, statistical modeling, is used to determine the list of five).
- You can assign both individuals and teams using this feature.
- The five best assignees are proposed based on:
  - skills required to complete a task
  - skills that an individual or team members have
  - The remaining capacity of resources – individuals or teams. <span style="color: #000000">The remaining capacity is calculated depending on the mode selected in the Resources module, namely </span><span style="color: #000000">**original estimate, remaining estimate, or story points.**</span>
- Skills account for the most in the algorithm (approximately 70%), but the remaining capacity is important too (30%).
- If you don’t manage skills in Jira, the remaining capacity is the only contributing factor.
- The remaining capacity can be expressed as a time period or story points.
- You can always reassign a task to another individual or team.
