(warning) Only people with the 'Create Plan' global permission can create a new build plan.

There are three ways of creating a new plan:

Creating a New Plan

To create a new plan,

  1. Click the 'Create Plan' link in the top navigation bar.
  2. The 'Create a new plan' wizard will appear (see screenshot below). Click the sub-tabs to edit the following:
  3. When you return to the Dashboard, your new plan (and new project, if applicable) will be displayed in the 'All Projects' list. Bamboo will also automatically run an initial build for your new plan, unless you have selected to trigger builds manually.

(info) You can configure Bamboo to automatically start an initial build for a new plan, even if you have selected manual triggering. To do so, add the fire.initial.build.for.manual.strategy to your bamboo.cfg.xml file as described in Configuring System Properties.

Cloning an Existing Plan

When you clone an existing plan, you make a copy of that plan and its entire configuration "recipe" (defined in the tabs listed above), which is used for generating builds.

To cloning an existing plan,

  1. Click the 'Create Plan' link in the top navigation bar.
  2. On the 'Plan Details' screen, select the check-box 'Clone an existing build plan?'
  3. A list called 'Plan to clone' will be displayed, containing all existing plans for which you have the 'Clone' and/or 'Admin' plan permission. Select the plan you wish to clone.
  4. Enter the required information in the screens listed above. On screens 2-8, appropriate information will be copied from the plan you selected; but you will need to complete all fields on the first screen.
  5. When you return to the Dashboard, your new plan (and new project, if applicable) will be displayed in the 'All Projects' list. Bamboo will also automatically run an initial build for your new plan, unless you have selected to trigger builds manually.

(info) You can configure Bamboo to automatically start an initial build for a new plan, even if you have selected manual triggering. To do so, add the fire.initial.build.for.manual.strategy to your bamboo.cfg.xml file as described in Configuring System Properties.

Importing a Plan from a pom.xml

(warning) You need to be an administrator to import a plan with Maven.

You can import a plan into Bamboo from a Maven project (Maven 2 only) by getting Bamboo to parse the plan information from the pom.xml file. For instructions, please see Importing a Plan from a pom.xml.
