Is it possible to assign single member capacities in Portfolio?

Valentin Margreiter

I am trying to get an authentic velocity calculation in Jira, which is also adaptable regarding which team members are working in the sprint and for how many days. (Taking absences into calculation)

For that I would probably need to assign (and further calculate) member specific capacities.

Or is there any other solution that comes to mind?

Hi @Valentin Margreiter,

Portfolio for JIRA does support team velocity, team members hours per day, absences and holidays.

If you are using hours, the team velocity will be based on the team members weekly hours capacity.

If you are using story points, the velocity is set at the team level and team members contribution will be based on their weekly hours capacity.

Thanks Thomas,

so if I understand this right, there is no way of setting individual member capacities. (I know, this is not the right way of doing it, but absences didn't change anything on the current capacity predictions)

You can use the weekly hours to achieve this as the individual capacity will be proportional to the hours worked.

For example:

Team 1 (Velocity 30)
- Member 1 (20h / Week) -> 20 Story Points Capacity
- Member 2 (5h / Week) -> 5 Story Points Capacity
- Member 3 (5h / Week) -> 5 Story Points Capacity
Team 2 (Velocity 15)
- Member 4 (1h / Week) -> 5 Story Points Capacity
- Member 5 (2h / Week) -> 10 Story Points Capacity

Hi Valntine,

You can try using our new plugin located directly in the backlog , and enables you to configure daily capacity and absence for each team member for the sprint, and view the capacity as it fills up to its limits.

Hi Hilli.

Sorry for the late response! Your software looks really promising, but again here you can only use available hours as opposed to calculating actual velocity.

Hi,

Actual velocity is based on available hours.

Do you expect to be able to pull the actual velocity for Portfolio?

Thanks

Hi Thomas,

I have a doubt here, if someone works 20h/week with the sprint duration set to 4 weeks, what is the story points capacity over the whole month. Will it still remain 20, or will it be 80?

Also, say in a project I have three developers with everyone's capacity set to say 32h/week and total velocity as 96, a single developer is able to complete 66 points worth of task in one sprint when I optimize the roadmap, can you explain how this works exactly?
