Is it possible to force a reviewer in capacity planner?

Question

When using the capacity planner (DC) I want to have project managers plan time for team members of different teams. These plans have to be approved by the team leads. Is it possible to force this behaviour?

I am reffering to the third-party Capacity Planner. Plan Approval is enabled. But is it possible to force a review? It seems to always be optional.

Hi @blank,

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

When you are referring to the capacity planner in the Confluence data center, do you mean:

* The Team Calendars Capacity View? This app (add-on) only allows visualization, not approvals.

* The Advanced Roadmaps macro (https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/advanced-roadmaps-macro-1167709316.html) embedded on a Confluence page that displays data from Jira? Advanced Roadmaps do not reflect in Jira until you explicitly "review changes" and save them. It would be a way to enforce the presence of data in the Jira work item.
* The third-party Capacity Planner app in Jira from the Tempo collection supports "plan approval." This feature is frequently disabled, but when enabled, it allows a team lead or manager to review the planning, similar to worklog approval.
