I'm seeking assistance in forecasting the resources for upcoming projects based on existing data

[Sumaiah Begum]

Hello Experts,

I'm seeking advice on managing a project "ABC" in Jira, which operates as a Business project. In this project, we utilize a single issue type, "Task," with each issue representing an individual project. These issues are not assigned to specific users; instead, they serve as a means to log employees' work within a particular project for time tracking purposes. We rely on the Work Log Pro addon for this functionality.

At the end of each month, we compile timesheets based on the logged details to facilitate invoicing and project inter-department recharges. Currently, we have approximately 200 issue types, corresponding to 200 projects. However, we do not assign these issues to specific users. Instead, if 10 members involved in a single project we give access to Jira and ask to  log their time according to the work they've completed.

Our objective now is to forecast the required manpower for a particular project (issue) to ensure timely completion of the work.
