How are we doing capacity planning in native Jira Cloud?
Has anyone had success doing capacity/resource planning in Jira cloud, using native functionality only (no plugins)?
Our team has dwindled down over the past year or so and each person has far too much work on their plate. I am trying to find a good way to see how much work they have currently assigned to them and what they can actually get done per week going forward.
We are currently using a Kanban board setup, and tracking work with Epics and Stories. The only thing I can think of is to use the 'Original estimate' and 'Time tracking' fields (and possibly 'Start date') and then view this in the Timeline view of our project board. However, the ghantt chart doesn't do much in terms of seeing how many hours they've estimated and where they might have space to do more or less work.
I've created a test Epic with three test Stories under it, each with various different "estimates" and due dates. This is how it displays for me when I look at the timeline. Is there a different view or something I am missing or another way to accomplish this that I haven't thought of?
We aren't going back to using sprints/story points so that is out of the question. We also are not able to install any 3rd party plugins due to budget constraints and HIPAA compliance requirements, so please no mention of plugins :) Looking to accomplish this in some way, shape, or form using native Jira functionality only, if possible. Doesn't have to be perfect, but just an idea.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help and/or has ideas!
