Team PI Capacity Calculation

[Ankur Agrawal]

my team is part of ART with multiple other teams. Is there a feature available in Atlassian/JIRA where the tool automatically calculates PI capacity of the team in the upcoming PI?

Greetings @Ankur Agrawal ... welcome!

Just to add to the mix of responses, our tool Agile Hive, specifically in the Breakout Board, includes capacity calculation for use in PI Planning. We have two articles addressing PI and capacity planning, respectively:

• 5 Best Practices for PI Planning in Agile Hive
  • As part of this article, we also include a "study session" on the topic, https://youtu.be/Pi-Zx5A0TGE?si=1o6nnCDTqPQp8ywO
• Embrace Jira Capacity Planning

Any questions, feel free to reach out.

Hi @Ankur Agrawal ,

First of all, I recommend analyzing JIRA Plans.

After that, I suggest trying the app I developed - Multi-team Metrics & Retrospective. Look at the Completed Scope metric.

Additionally, you will be able to:

• Track any custom metric constructed using JQL across any periods - sprints, months, quarters, half-years or years for multiple teams in a single view.
• Conduct in-place retrospectives
• Compare metrics between teams or periods
• Identify, quantify, and prioritize reasons behind mediocre performance, and easily justify budget allocation for improvements
• View dynamics between the current and previous periods
• View % of a metric relative to Initial or Final Scope. Average of metrics for the selected periods
• View average of metrics for the selected periods

• Generate retro reports for SAFe, LeSS, SoS, etc. teams to:

  • Compare groups of teams, e.g., Team 1 and Team 5 as one entity versus Team 3 and Team 4 as another.
  • Compare periods, e.g., 2024 vs 2023 for Team 1 and Team 5 combined.

Here is summary of metrics:

Best regards,
Alexey

Hi @Ankur Agrawal ,

Welcome to the Community! Jira Align had Capacity Planning capabilities:

I believe some things have changed around Jira Align since the last time I used it, but I'd recommend to explore it, specially if you're using a process similar to SAFe or scaled agile:

for a Team's PI Capacity calculation, following inputs are required which are captured manually in 1 or more Atlassian tools like Jira and Confluence:

1. team members name/userid
2. organization's working and non working days
3. sprint duration and dates for upcoming PI
4. planning absenteeism for each team member in the duration of PI
5. UoM (unit of measure): in majority of cases, it is Story Point
