Triggers can only be configured by a Bamboo administrator. The trigger method for a plan's build is listed in the 'Reason' column on the dashboard.

Considerations for choosing a build strategy

Build dependencies and build strategies

Build dependencies are "parent-child" relationships between plan builds, which can be configured so that a series of plan's builds are triggered. See Setting up plan build dependencies.

Conditional build triggers

This field is only available when configuring an existing plan.

You can choose to run builds of this plan only if other specified plans are currently passing. Those plans that must build successfully before this plan can be built. See also Setting up plan build dependencies.

To specify build trigger conditions:

1. Click Dashboard and then the All Plans tab.
2. Locate the plan in the list and click the edit icon  to display the plan's configuration pages.
3. Click the Plan Details tab.
4. Select Only run Build if other Plans are currently passing, under 'Trigger Conditions'.
5. Specify one or more other plans by adding their full keys.
