Capacity Planning
Plan team capacity and workload distribution using JIRA data.
The Capacity Planning feature helps you understand team workload and plan capacity using your JIRA data in a spreadsheet.
How it works
- Sync your JIRA issues using the JIRA Issues panel.
- Open Capacity Planning from the sidebar.
- View workload distribution across team members.
- Identify over-allocated and under-allocated team members.
Planning views
- Workload by assignee — see how many issues or story points each team member has
- Sprint capacity — compare planned work against team availability
- Workload balance — identify uneven distribution across the team
Use cases
- Sprint planning — ensure work is evenly distributed before committing to a sprint
- Resource allocation — identify team members with available capacity
- Bottleneck detection — spot team members who are over-allocated
Tips
- Pull story points or time estimates into your spreadsheet to get more accurate capacity views.
- Use spreadsheet formulas to calculate utilization percentages.
- Combine with Roadmap Planning for end-to-end planning.
