Capacity planning for a team rather than individual resources

Greg Cook February 24, 2025

Im looking for some help / a plugin..

 

I currently have multiple development teams.  Each team is made up of 3 - 5 Resources.

Each Team can we working across multiple projects at a time.  

I want to be able to resource at a project / Team level.  

what i want to do.

1) per member of the team i can allocate their hours per day ( availability or leave etc )

2) have a combined sum of all the people in the team per day/week/sprint ( configurable view )

3) Create the concept of a Project which has a time span of say 12 weeks.. ( i might have multiple projects defined and they can over lap each other )

4) have the tool determine where i will have resource clashed between projects. eg i might allocate that the team should work on project 100 for the first 3 weeks, then 50% for the next 3 , then 25% etc..  i want to be able to do this for each project.

As i allocate projects to a team it should ideally highlight when i have over resourced and allow me to juggle the project allocation.

I see so many tools that a focused on the story/person level, but i really dont care about the individuals i care about the team as a whole ( promoting team collaboration and swarming ) ..  How each person is allocated to work in the team is irrelevant to me ( in general ) as they all have similar skills .  I do want to know when im overloading a team with too many in parallel projects, so that i can shift durations or timelines.  If the tool could work out the best project distribution to meet the time frames based on project size ( hours ) and team Capacity ( hours ) that would be a bonus.

 

Any tools in jira or not that meet this need?

Hi @Greg Cook 

If would like to try a mktplace app for resource capacity planning, take a look at

The app offers:

1. Resource Tracking and Allocation : The app allows you to monitor and track various resources by adding them as part of a template, and their work allocation across multiple projects / sprints.

2. Real-time Visualization: Provides intuitive charts, graphs to visualize resource utilization and capacity levels in real-time.

3. Full Sprint / Project Fix version Capacity and Monitoring
