Configuring Concurrent Builds

Bamboo's concurrent builds feature allows you to run more than one build of a single Plan concurrently on multiple agents. This is extremely useful if a Plan's build triggers are likely to fire in a shorter period of time than what Bamboo requires to complete running the Plan's builds.

You can configure a default value for the maximum number of builds of a Plan that your Bamboo server can run concurrently, via the Bamboo administration console. This value is a default – it can be overridden in a Plan's configuration.

To configure the default maximum number of concurrent builds of a Plan allowed by Bamboo:

1. Click the 'Administration' link in the top navigation bar.
2. Click the 'Concurrent Builds' link in the left navigation column under the 'Plans' subheading. The Concurrent Builds page is displayed.
   The maximum number of builds of a Plan that Bamboo will run concurrently by default, is displayed next to Default number of concurrent builds allowed.
3. Click the 'Edit' button.
4. In the Default number of concurrent builds allowed field, enter the default maximum number of builds of a Plan that Bamboo can run concurrently on different agents. Be aware that this value can be overridden in a Plan's configuration.
5. Click the 'Save' button to save your changes.
