Introduction to Jira Capacity Planner
Managing a team's workload is one of the biggest challenges in project management. The balance between meeting deadlines and ensuring team well-being is delicate, and without the right tools, it's easy to fall into overallocation, burnout, and delays.
Jira Capacity Planner is the integrated solution in Jira that gives you back control over your organization's capacity planning.
This version updates the add-on's platform and branding:
- Jira Data Center 11.3 Compatibility: The add-on is validated to run on this version of Jira.
- Official Logo: Introduces the official framed logo, aligned with the rest of the add-on suite.
- Administration, the capacity view, absences, and the dashboard gadget remain the same as in version 1.3.1; this release does not include new planning features.
- If your Jira site is still on version 10.x, continue using version 1.3.1.
