Capacity per period report
About the Capacity per period report
Generate a capacity report for a given period.
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Name | Name of the report. |
Category | You can group capacity by:
|
Value | Conditional field (unavailable for the reports in the "total" category). Select a skill, team, or user the report will be generated for. |
Aggregation | You can aggregate capacity data by:
|
Start/end date | Optional field. |
Report data
The report data is expressed as a number of hours.
The report is based on:
Capacity (as calculated in the Resources module - if capacity was overwritten in the capacity panel of the Board module it is ignored)
Workload (workload is based on the Original Estimate, but can be overwritten).
Column | Data |
|---|---|
1st column | Total capacity |
2nd column | Distributed workload (used capacity) |
3rd column | Remaining capacity (when the distributed workload exceeds total capacity, the number can be negative) |
Workload
Workload is based on the Original Estimate.
In the "manual" contouring mode you can distribute more or fewer workload hours than the Original Estimate suggests. Only the distributed workload is taken into account when generating a report.
Workload contouring can affect the report.
The Original Estimate is set to 8h.
Task duration is 4 days (based on the start/end dates).
The task Begins on the last two working days of the month.
The workload contouring is set to "front-loaded".
Result:
In a monthly report, the entire workload is distributed to April. The task contributes zero workload to the May report.
Limitations
The report covers only data that fits within the Box period. Using the 'date range' filter won't expand the report beyond the start/end date of the Box. If the period of your tasks extends beyond the Box period, modify the Box start/end date to encompass all your tasks.
Portfolio box
In a portfolio, you need to select the Box a report will cover.
