Atlassian: Individual Capacity Planning in Jira: How to Manage Team Bandwidth

Individual capacity planning in Jira is a native view that connects team member bandwidth directly to live work items, epics, and initiatives—eliminating the need for disconnected planning spreadsheets.

In this video, we cover how to set up individual capacity planning, import existing spreadsheets with Atlassian Rovo, track non-project time like PTO and KTLO, prevent overallocation across spaces, and rebalance resources using AI natural language commands.
