You’re Planning with Data. But Are You Planning with Reality?

[#1]

Everything looks fine on #Jira

But your team? Drowning.

That’s the Capacity Illusion when work looks reasonable on paper, but in reality, your team is maxed out, constantly context-switching, and silently burning out.

Jira does a solid job at tracking tasks.

But it rarely tells you: Who’s stretched too thin – Whose skill sets are mismatched to their tasks – Or how five “quick” tickets add up to one stressed-out engineer

This mismatch between perceived capacity and actual workload is one of the biggest reasons why:

Sprint estimates fall apart

Work quality dips

Deadlines slide

Morale drops

The problem?

Most teams plan based on what’s visible, not what’s realistic.

That’s why we built Rally’s ASSIGN Template, to give teams a real picture of their workload before committing to the work after planning.

You can see who’s overbooked or underutilized, match work with the right skills, make tradeoffs before they become emergencies.

All with a lovely animation to make assigning work a bit less boring😅

The result?

More honest conversations, more reliable plans, and teams that can actually breathe.

Been running personal demos for everyone who wants me to show them around.
