Is there a way of setting up a project in Jira Cloud that will allow for automated due dates?

Hi All,

So one of our teams is an operations team and they manage multiple task based projects. A lot of the time this will need to be a template that can be duplicated. 

What we need to be able to do is for the task due dates to be automatically calculated based on the Project start date and the estimated time that a task should take. 

This needs to then be calculated through all the project lists. There are dependencies across the task list so these would also need to be taken into account. When due dates are being calculated. 

The second part of this is then around reporting on a team members workload. 

A team member maybe allocated to tasks across multiple projects and this would need to be visible so as to ensure a single person is not being overloaded. 

 

Does anyone have any ideas on how to implement this, in terms of additional add-ons for Jira cloud as there does not appear to be core functionality for it?

 

So 3 steps:

- Create a Template project and use this to create new projects with expected completion time carried across.

- When the project Start date is entered then it will need to calculate the due dates of each task based on dependencies and expected time to completion (days/weeks/etc)

- Reporting on teams and individual workload (across all projects).

Kind Regards
