My organization is revamping its planning process and I'm trying to determine if the approach we are aiming for is something that is support by Atlassian tooling. Our teams are using JIRA Kanban classic software projects. Work is organized in Task tickets. These are estimated in story points. Task tickets report up to Epics, which correspond to our departmental projects.
The basics of what we're looking to do are:
I would have guessed the above to be a really common use case, but I haven't yet come across any material suggesting this is a natural fit for Atlassian tooling. Is it? Not only would I hope this is doable, I would hope the how-tos are documented.
My first choice would be to do this fully native to Atlassian tooling, but we're open to exploring alternative options that interface with JIRA if this appears to be an overly custom use-case.
As an option, you can try the ActivityTimeline plugin. ActivityTimeline provides resource planning and availability on a timeline view. There is automatic scheduling based on the estimates and assigned users.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @Andrew Grossman ,
I haven't found or used anything as sophisticated as you described, but have you looked into some options like Big Picture or Activity Timeline?:

Smartsheets seems powerful too:
