NEW Atlassian Marketplace app for Capacity Planning: Capacity for Jira

Huwen Arnone [Deiser/Devoteam]

We’re excited to announce the launch of Capacity for Jira, a team resource planning solution that helps you answer questions such as: "Who on my team is overworked?" Or "Who has more free time?"

Fully built on Forge, Capacity for Jira gives PMOs, team leads, and delivery managers a resource to help them stop guessing and start planning team capacity and allocating workload with precision.

Capacity for Jira allows smart workload planning 

If you’ve ever struggled to manage workload across teams in Jira, you’re not the only one. Most people rely on logging hours or those unloved spreadsheets, and even the weekly meetings that could be an email, just to figure out who's overloaded or who has more availability, and that's inefficient.

All these inefficient methods usually lead to burnout for both the team and team managers, whose only interest is to be more productive.
Poor resource allocation and endless status updates can even foster toxic work environments and encourage micromanagement.

Capacity for Jira has come to change that.

 

What's possible with Capacity for Jira?

• Visualize capacity with color-coded calendars: 🔵Blue = Under capacity | 🟢Green = Optimal workload | 🔴Red = Overloaded
  
• Plan Jira work items according to capacity and availability by just clicking on the calendar cell corresponding to your teammate, assigning tasks, defining start/end dates, and setting occupancy percentage. Also, you're able to compare logged work vs. planned to calculate variance, and adjust better for the following planning.
  
• Plan the weekly workload per teammate by drilling down into what and how much time they have available.
• Allocate workload in seconds, avoiding teammate work overload and balancing it between teammates. No Slack pings or extra meetings are needed.
• And more importantly, if you use Jira, you already know how to use Capacity for Jira.

 

This solution has been built for the PMO and team leaders to allow them to foster more visibility across their team and departments, allowing better workload distribution, and planning real capacity, not just logged hours
