BigWigs is a free add-on for World of Warcraft that consists of many individual "boss modules" and mini add-ons that are designed to trigger alert messages and timer bars for one specific raid boss each.
Modules are activated when you target or mouseover a Boss, or if any other BigWigs use in your raid does. In most cases only one module will be running at any given time.
Here are some key features of "BigWigs":
