We do a lot of multi-stage tickets at my workplace. One person does a design, another person does the code, another gives final approval, another does the testing, etc. We're constantly reassigning tickets from one person to the next in the chain.
However, one problem we have is that we sometimes don't know if the person we're assigning a ticket to is going to be available. If someone goes on vacation, we don't want a ticket sitting with them for a week or two until they get back. As a result, I'm looking for something that can display a simplified version of an employee's schedule for the next couple weeks when I type their name into the "assign to" box on a ticket, so I can check to make sure they're going to have the time to handle it (otherwise I'll assign it to someone else).
I need to be able to import from Outlook (probably ical feeds).
Does this sort of feature exist in Jira, or with a plugin?
Thanks!
