Capacity indicators provide a quick glance at the teams' capacity levels. They are visible in the Team Planning view to provide insights into the teams' capacity by week, month, or quarter. The capacity calculations are visualized and color-coded in the Team Planning view to show capacity levels as over-capacity, under-capacity, or at-capacity, enabling resource managers to allocate work more efficiently across teams based on each team's capacity within the selected time period.
To analyze the capacity data:
-
In Team Planning, select Add Teams to add the teams you want to view the plans for.
-
Select to view the team plans per month, week, or quarter from the dropdown list selection next to the Today button.
-
Scroll across the dates to select the time period you want to view or select the Today button for the current date.
-
You can filter the Team Planning view by using the Filter by button to select from a wide range of filter options. After applying the filter options, you can select a different set of filters to recalculate the capacity data and update capacity indicators to reflect the new selection. This helps users get capacity calculations for specific groups within teams. For example, you can filter by developer role to view developer capacity across the selected time period in the managed teams.
-
The capacity indicator bars are displayed above each week, month, or quarter to show the teams' capacity levels. Those are color-tagged as follows:
-
Red indicates over-capacity when 100% allocation or more is assigned.
-
Orange indicates under-capacity; between 0% and 80% allocation is assigned.
-
Green indicates at-capacity when allocation is between 80% and 100%.
-
Grey indicates no FTE or capacity calculations.
