Workload | Task workload distribution is the same when task is in multiple boxes Old calculation: Workload is distributed based on capacity. Capacity depends on resource and team allocation, which can vary across boxes. This could result in the workload distribution of a task being different across the boxes. The change: Workload distribution is the same across boxes.
OLD CALCULATION Task in two boxes Acorn Box - task assigned to a person (Nola Ross) - task assigned to a team (Acorn team) - task assignee (Nola Ross) is a member of the Acorn team (50% allocation) → 4h of assignee capacity is dedicated to the team’s work. - Workload distribution is front-loaded. - BigPicture allocates max of 4h a day to a task (based on the assignee membership in a team)
Zebra box - tasks details are the same in both boxes (assignee is Nola Ross, task assigned to the Acorn team) - task Original estimate is the same in both boxes (10h) - workload mode (front-loaded) is the same in both boxes - The Acorn team is NOT in a Zebra box. Acorn team memberships, including allocation details, don’t affect the workload calculation in the Zebra box. - Workload is distributed based on total assignee capacity (8h a day).
