Team Member Availability

Introduction

Managing resource availability is vital for all your projects, as it affects all other project parameters. The availability factor can increase or reduce the team members' capacity in a specified period.

Availability and capacity

Open

When you add a membership entry (for a team member), specify the availability for that period. 

Edit a membership entry

Open the list of membership entries for a team member by clicking on their username:

You can edit the availability value of a membership entry. 

Limitations: you can't edit the value if the team was inherited. Changes have to be made in the box the team was created in. 

You can set availability for each team member. Availability impacts the capacity.

Capacity = working hours specified in the Workload Plans - non-working days (in other words, how much total work can a resource do in a period of time. If Kate works 8h a day and there are 4 working days in a particular week, her capacity for that week is 32h).

Calculation of individual capacity takes into account team member's availability across all teams they're a part of (if Kate is assigned 50% availability in Agile team, her capacity as an individual for the 4 day week mentioned above is 16h. Team Agile gains 16h of capacity because of Kate during that week. In other words, half of Katie's capacity got allocated to team effort).
