Resource planning with JPD

[Mark Colonnese]

Hi,

We are in the process of refining our roadmap across various impacted teams. We create ideas in JPD and assign teams to those ideas. Each team then sizes their t-shirt effort to that initiative.

We wish now to check we have the capacity within each team to deliver our roadmap commitments over a defined timeframe.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks!
Mark.

Not sure if this will work as I am new to JPD. If you have Plans in Jira, which is included with Premium and Enterprise Jira, you might build a plan on the ideas, associate the teams, assign each team's capacity, and set an estimating model for plans.  I'm also not sure how the t-shirt sizing will translate.

Hi there!

Today, after you add your ideas in JPD, and build your roadmap using JPD views, you can link delivery tickets that exist in Jira to the right ideas. Then for each idea, you can follow the delivery progress for every idea.

To understand how much capacity is available, and what piece of your aspirational roadmap you can commit to: we don't have a built-in feature. You would need to compute this in Jira, using Jira tickets, then doing sequencing in Jira, then reporting manually the right dates on ideas. 

This is a great use case though!! I will circle back with the team to see if they have a better solution in mind. 

Thank you

Amina

Hi @Mark Colonnese 

Welcome to the community !!

A mktplace app can help to plan the capacity of your teams. If you are open to try one, take a look at :

Capacity Planner

With the add-on you can :

• Maintain the team members daily capacity in a template and decide work allocation.
• Define resource leaves.
• Plan capacity either for time estimates or story points.
• Check the effort progress of the resource and make decisions accordingly.
• Track the actual time spent per task

 Do try it out.
