Capacity planning Jira

Corinna

Hello, does anybody know if JIRA enables in any way a good way to do capacity planning, inclunding & availibility for each ressource. Similar as in MS Project...so that we can plan workload against available ressources for each release, including the calculation that some ressources to only work maye 30% on this Project and release ?!

Thanks in advance

You might want to try the Portfolio add-on, it allows you to allocate skill sets and availability within teams (e.g. Within project AAA, Nic can do 3 hours JIRA and 1 hour Confluence per day, and 1 hour admin on project shows you a neat delivery timeline, and updates it as you reallocate resources or add breaks and holidays.

Although the timeline is very useful, I'd try it alongside the Gantt chart Rahul suggests.

You might also want to take a look at the Tempo add-ons. They're a bit lighter on the "planning a huge project" side, and do resource planning differently (although the method is just as good, and probably better than Portfolio for a lot of teams). Again, I'd be tempted to add the Gantt chart to that.

There are couple of plugins available in the marketplace.

Try Gantt Chart plugin from Frank Polscheit.

Thank you ...i heard some remarks about the Gantt Chart Plugin , that is caused JIRA breakdown...so some kind of problem in this direction.....do you know anything about that ?

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

I've had performance issues and broken indexing caused by one of the Gantt chart add-ons in the past, but that was on JIRA 4, and I'm pretty sure it was not Frank's add-on.

Corinna

ok but can i add % availability for each ressource in this Gant Chart plugin. since this is crucial for our customer, since we are working in a Matrix and no developer works 100% on one project....

Do you also know the Big Gantt Chartt ? I think there is the Gant Chart from Frank Polscheit, and the Big Gantt Chart.....

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

There's several Gantt chart add-ons. Frank's is the one I've used in the past, as it's been around a long time, and so people have installed it on systems that I've later looked at. Frank has kept it well supported for a long time.

I've not really tried the Big Gantt chart - it's relatively new compared with Frank's, and I've not yet looked at any sites using it in any detail (Seen a couple, but the focus of the work has been elsewhere - it's installed, but I've not touched it). Most of my work nowadays is with Agile-like teams in one way or another, so there's no real use for Gantt charts in most places.

Corinna

ok thank you a lot for your information !!
