CAPacity ALlocation & DIagrams

Note: allocation categories are generic, but generally thought of as areas like: product enhancements, reactive work, complexity management, etc)

Capaldi aims to be able to quickly answer these questions:

• Individual
  • How is the individuals time committed across allocation categories?
• Team
  • How are the team's resources distributed across allocation categories?
  • How are the team's resources distributed across projects and releases?
• Org
  • How are the org's resources distributed across allocation categories?
  • How are the org's resources distributed across projects and releases?
  • How are the org's resources distributed over various time intervals (e.g. quarters)?
  • How are the org's resources distributed w.r.t. resource attributes such as role or FTE status?

Config:

• Jira epic query

Design Philosophy

Design decisions are guided by a few principles:

• Outcomes before features
• Opinionated before flexible
• Simple before feature-rich
• Fast before shiny
• Delightful before powerful

While the things on the right are desirable, the things on the left take precedence.
