Advice on Critical Path planning, Resource/Capacity Planning (People and Equipment) please?In the JIRA Premium level. This would be for a new team using JIRA that in the past has liked MS Project.

Thank you!

Hi @Erin Winn 

Welcome to the community! 

As you have JIRA Premium, you can manage it in Plans through dependencies and create roadmaps for Critical Path planning. 

In ActivityTimeline you can manage not only your Jira users but also create custom resources that should not necessarily be represented as a Jira User.

Resources can be used to plan & manage non-human resources, like rooms, equipment, etc, as well as represent potential new employees or to show a need for additional resources.

You can choose a name for the resource, assign Position, Skill & Tags, which essentially work as qualities of the resource and the position usually represent the type of the resource (e.g. Equipment, Potential Employee, etc).

If you have any questions or feel like trying out a free demo session would be helpful, we'd love to set that up for you! Just let us know.
