Overview of Resource Planner

Viewing your resources in Resource Planning requires the View Plans permission for the teams to which the resources belong.

The Resource Planning view shows the availability of your resources and lets you see at a glance who's fully booked, who has available hours, and who is overbooked. The view shows all the members of the teams that are visible to you, but you can focus on who you want to see in the view by filtering the resources.

To open the Resource Planning view, select Planning in the Tempo sidebar. The Weeks view is displayed by default.

When a user's plans are expanded, you can see the plans for each Jira issue and that issue's current status. See Viewing Resources and Their Plans for more information.
G	Calendar	The main area for viewing and creating plans. Each resource has a timeline where you can see the number of hours that are planned for each day. Colored capacity indicators let you quickly see how their time is allocated: Green checkmark is just right - this resource is fully allocated for that day. Yellow progress bar shows that there's still some room left in their day. The number of hours that are already allocated is shown. Red bar shows that they're too busy! The total number of hours for which they're allocated is shown. See Viewing Resources and Their Plans and Planning Time for Resources for more information.
