Changing effort per day in Tempo Planner

Question

Hi all

Is there an elegant way to allocate specific time to a task per day in Tempo Planner

Scenario

A PM has created a task called Review Technical  Scope and Assigned it to a resource with and estimate of 10 Hours in a 5 day week in JIRA and it is synched with Tempo Planner

Tempo planner will automatically spread the 10 hours across 5 days = 2 hours per day

What i want to do is phase the effort across the 5 days e.g

* Mon 4 Hours,
* Tue -2 hours
* Wed - 1 Hour
* Thu - 1 hour
* Fri - 2 Hours

I can split the task into 5 and allocated each segment the effort but i find this very cumbersome to do particularly for tasks which take longer

Any ideas welcome

Perhaps a feature change could be introduced that can model the daily distribution of hours at creation without the need to split tasks

Thanks Valerie

We have big picture and have seen the workload contouring feature .  We are trying to use Tempo capacity planner add in to manage resource assignment and allocation as we already have tempo timesheets as our time tracking tool

Hi @Rakesh Pradhan , thanks for your question.

I don't know that this is possible yet in Tempo, but BigPicture has a function like this called, 'workload contouring' - https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/297046379/Workload+contouring
