Hi @Mary from Planyway 

Congratulations to the Planyway team on this highly anticipated update! 🎉 Integrating Vacations & Days Off directly into the project timeline is a game‑changer for truly holistic resource management. By surfacing individual leave alongside task allocations, managers can now:

Eliminate hidden bottlenecks

Instantly spot when key contributors will be unavailable and rebalance assignments before deadlines slip. No more scrambling at the last minute to reassign critical work.

Optimize sprint and roadmap planning

Factor in realistic capacity from day one—whether it’s a four‑hour “day off” or a full week of vacation—so your estimates stay grounded and stakeholder expectations remain aligned.

Drive cross‑team coordination

With a unified view of everyone’s availability, cross‑functional dependencies become transparent. You can stagger releases, shift QA cycles, or onboard contractors proactively, rather than reactively.

I’m also excited about the potential for deeper integrations—imagine syncing PTO data from your HR system or triggering automated Jira transitions based on leave status. Could you share any plans for API access or webhooks around this feature?

Looking forward to putting this to work and seeing how it transforms capacity planning across our portfolios. Well done, Planyway team—this is exactly the kind of intelligent, people‑centric tooling we need to keep projects on track and teams happy! 🚀
