Monitor resources used across projects

[Michael Perlman]

We would like to use our Jira software to monitor resource usage across projects. For example, we have a developer working on two different projects. He spends approximately 50% of his time on each. We estimate story points in our sprints and assign this developer to Jira Stories and Tasks in the current sprint for each of these respective projects. Is there a way to see the total number of story points we assigned to this resource as a result of assigning stories to him in each of these projects? Maybe he has capacity as he wasn't assigned enough total story points for the month. It would be good to see this and then we can decide to assign more work to the developer. Can Jira provide this kind of information? Thank you.

Hello,

I tried the User Workload Report, but I couldn't get it working.

As a workaround, may I suggest this JQL clause ?

assignee = devName and (Sprint = sprintProject1 or Sprint = sprintProject2)

Nicolas,

Thank you. I was hoping for a user friendly tool to show resource utilization across projects. Is there an application for Jira you could recommend that would do this? I heard of Activity Timeline for Jira. Would this be helpful? Thank you.
