New in Planyway for Jira: Workload Report

[#1]

Hi Atlassian Community,

We’ve just released a new report in Planyway for Jira — Workload Report.

It helps project managers and team leads understand how scheduled work compares to the team’s available capacity. Instead of discovering overloads in the middle of a sprint or planning period, you can now spot capacity issues earlier and make better planning decisions based on real availability.

What the Workload Report shows

The report compares three key values for each team member:

Scheduled work — the amount of work already planned for a team member within a selected period. This is based on scheduled Jira issues.

Capacity — the amount of time a team member is available to work during the same period. Capacity is calculated based on working hours, vacations, and holidays.

Scheduled vs Capacity — the percentage of a team member’s total capacity that has already been planned for the selected period.

How to read the report

The report makes it easier to see whether the current plan is realistic:

• If scheduled work is higher than capacity, the team member may be overloaded.
• If scheduled work is lower than capacity, they may still have available time for more tasks.
• If scheduled work matches capacity, the plan is balanced for the selected period.

Why it’s useful

Workload planning is often difficult because the plan may look fine at the issue level, but still be unrealistic when compared to actual team capacity.

With the Workload Report, you can:

• identify overloaded team members earlier;
• see who still has available capacity;
• balance work across the team;
• plan sprints and future work with more confidence;
• make decisions based on working hours, vacations, and holidays.

The Workload Report is now available in Planyway for Jira.

We’d love to hear what you think and how this report could support your planning process.
