Resource Management and Time Tracking
Resource Management and Time Tracking
Mastering resource planning and precision time tracking is the only way to gain a true 360-degree view of your team’s workload, availability, and delivery milestones.
Plan capacity, track time and manage workloads in Jira
We help you implement ActivityTimeline in Jira to support resource planning, team allocation, time tracking and reporting. ActivityTimeline is built for capacity planning, workload management, timesheets and forecasting, giving managers a clearer view across projects and teams.
What the solution helps you manage
User and team setup
Set up employee profiles with availability, roles, positions and skills so planning is based on real capacity.
Resource and workload planning
Plan work across users, teams and projects with a clearer view of who is available, overloaded or underused.
Time tracking
Track logged time against planned work to improve visibility, accountability and delivery control.
Leave and event planning
Manage vacations, sick leave, bookings, milestones, sprints and other events alongside project work.
Reporting and forecasting
Use planning and time data to support management reporting, forecasting and operational decisions.
Why use ActivityTimeline for resource management?
Better visibility of capacity
See workload and availability across people and teams instead of planning in separate spreadsheets or disconnected views.
More realistic planning
Use actual availability, roles and skills to build plans that better reflect real delivery capacity.
Stronger control of time and workload
Compare planned and logged work to spot gaps, delays and over-allocation earlier.
More useful management insight
Turn planning and time-tracking data into reports that help managers make better decisions.
How we implement the solution
Set up employee profiles and teams
We start by configuring employee profiles, including daily availability, positions and skills. Teams can be created manually or dynamically based on roles or skill-based grouping.
Create planning views for managers
We map your planning requirements and build views for department managers, team leads and project managers so each role sees the right planning horizon and workload data.
Configure time tracking and events
We configure time tracking and extend planning beyond Jira issues to include events such as leave, bookings, milestones and other non-issue activities. Accurate setup matters, because time-tracking quality depends on the underlying configuration.
Implement reports and forecasting views
We identify the reporting needs of management and configure the reports needed for planning, utilisation, forecasting and follow-up.
What we typically configure
Team structure and planning views
Profiles, teams and management views that support planning at department, team and project level.
Time tracking and workload control
Planned and logged time views that help track effort, compare actuals and manage capacity more accurately.
Reports and forecasting
Reporting setups for availability, workload, project resourcing and other planning needs relevant to your organisation.
Typical reporting and planning needs
Give managers a clearer view of who is available, who is overloaded and where planning conflicts exist.
Compare expected effort with actual logged time to understand delivery patterns and improve future planning.
Use reporting by project, team, role or position to support resourcing decisions and forward planning.
Bring resource planning and time tracking into one Jira view
Whether you need better visibility of team workload, more accurate time tracking or stronger reporting for managers, we can help you implement ActivityTimeline in a way that fits your organisation.
