Resources allocation with BigGantt?

lucale

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out how to manage with Jira the resources allocation.

In particular:

1. how can I allocate a certain % of a resource on an issue? To be clear, I'd like to allocate to the issue A a 10% of resource 1, to the issue B a 50% of resource 1 in the same period of time
2. how can I view the capacity of the resources? For example, I'd like to see that resource 1 is occupied for 60% in that time, so I could assign to resource 1 another issue if the requested capacity is less than 40%
3. how can I set a resource calendar, in orther to take into account personal holidays?

For your information, in my company we have BigGantt plugin.

Kind regards

Luca

Hi @lucale 

When it comes to BigGantt and resource allocation, please find some answers to your questions below:

1. it is not yet possible to assign multiple resources to a task in BigGantt, although, we do have a task in our backlog created in order to make it happen one day (please kindly see a link to it below and please use browser incognito mode to access it). Currently, it is possible to assign 1 person to 1 task

- https://jira.softwareplant.com/browse/ONE-13473

2. unfortunately, you cannot manage resource workload as well as other parameters in BigGantt. For this activity, you may want to consider switching from BigGantt to BigPicture, since it contains quite a number of additional functionalities when compared to BigGantt, including a Resource module dedicated especially to resource management. Please take a look at our documentation page:

- Resources module

3. for setting up Workload/Holiday Plans in BigGantt, and creating global as well as dedicated personal calendars, please navigate to the app Administration. Please also take a look at the pages below, that describes the modules in question in detail:

- Resource Manager

- Workload Plans

- Holiday Plans

I hope this helps!

Have a good day and best regards,

Adam
