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.

What can you achieve with Capacity Planner?

This plugin transforms the way you visualize and manage your team's time, allowing you to shift from reactive planning to a proactive strategy.

Who is this plugin for?

Jira Capacity Planner is designed for Project Managers, Team Leaders, Department Heads, and anyone responsible for resource allocation and short- and long-term planning.

Key Benefits

• Complete and Centralized Visibility: Forget about external spreadsheets. Get a clear, real-time view of your team's availability directly in Jira, with an intuitive visual interface that shows you who is overloaded, who has availability, and why.

• Proactive Planning and Burnout Prevention: Anticipate bottlenecks and overload before they happen. Visual load indicators alert you to the days when a team member exceeds their capacity, allowing you to reassign tasks and adjust deadlines to maintain a sustainable work pace.

• Data-Driven Decision Making: Assign new projects or tasks with the certainty of knowing who really has time to take them on. Resource allocation decisions are based on concrete data of availability, dedication, and absences, not on assumptions.

• Flexible Configuration Adapted to Your Organization: Accurately model your company's structure by defining a work profile, holiday calendars, multidisciplinary teams, and the partial or full dedication of each member.

Welcome to a smarter, more humane way to plan your team's work.
