Is there a way to manage the time allocation of employees in Jira (related to the different tasks)

Raphaël NORYNBERG

Hi everyone,

Of course I am aware that there is the system of "estimated time" and "remaining time" fields, to follow the progress of a task, but it is not enough for me today.

To be more specific, I would like to track my employees daily assignments to estimate tasks duration and refine these estimates over time.

For example, I wish I could say that this week, Billie will work Monday and Tuesday on the "TASK-1", and Flynn will work Wednesday on that same task. And the next week Billie will work every day on "TASK-2".

Is there a way to do this with the different types of projects or settings in Jira?

Thank you in advance for your answers

Hi Raphaël,

Out of the box there is no planning possibility on Jira other than planning items in a specific sprint. You could also have a custom setup and use a date field to plan when something can be started with. But that's obviously not what you are looking for.

In the past I have used the Tempo Planner app. By drag and drop you can plan items on a specific day for an individual or team. This gives you a capacity view. There are several other apps offering similar capabilities.
