Overallocation in Tests Cycles

[Paulo Fonseca]

In projects, we deal with tester overallocation, which is a common occurrence. Sometimes a given tester is allocated to multiple test cycles during the same period, where the total time required for testing exceeds the number of hours planned. This often happens because the same tester works on more than one project. Question: Does anyone here know of a gadget that can demonstrate tester overallocation?

Hi @Paulo Fonseca ,

To track allocation vs capacity of a single tester, you need to create a separate team board for this tester. For that you can use either

• JIRA Plans (there is capacity vs allocation feature)
  
  
  
  OR
  
  
• The tool I developed - Multi-team Scrum Metrics & Retrospectives:
