[karim.belhadj]

@Andy Heinzer  i would like to ask you about something else , you look have experience in agile and scrum Thank you .

So as a scum master i would like to help the development team , In the sprint planing , the development team choose user story with hight priority they  would like to  see in live their capaity ( stop pushing user story if they exceed their capacity ) , so they need a live measure of capacity .

What they can use in jira software to see their capacity measurement ?

Regards

Thank you

Hi Karim,

I moved this question to be its own thread.  It seemed to be sufficiently different from the original questions it was created on to warrant this kind of move.  Please feel free to create a new question in the future if the subject matter is different than the original post.

I understand you are looking to be able to give team mates some means to measure their capacity in terms of working on items in Jira Software/Agile.  For Jira Software by itself, there are some basic agile reports that you could try to use in order to start to get an idea about this.  For example the User Workload report, and Version Workload report can be helpful for looking at how much work an individual has to do, as well as how much work is assigned to a specific version fix.

I would start with those reports that are built into Jira Agile/Jira Software.  If you find those reports are insufficient to your needs, then you might want to take a closer look into additional products such as Portfolio for Jira (Marketplace link).  Portfolio has some additional features to build upon Jira Software in order to try to help users understand forecasting, capacity, dependencies, and some other tools to help manage expected workloads. 

I hope this helps.

Andy
