Common Capacity Planning Mistakes in Agile That Block Delivery
Trying to plan Agile team capacity without a specialized tool is like driving a train without tracks. These are the main obstacles faced every day by teams, product managers, and RTEs:
- Slow and repetitive manual processes
- Calculating capacity sprint by sprint, checking workload in spreadsheets, copying data from Jira, estimating velocity… Everything becomes a mountain of mechanical tasks — and worse: highly prone to human error.
- Lack of real visibility across teams
- One team is overloaded, another has spare capacity, dependencies aren’t clear… Without a synchronized view —especially when working with multiple teams or ARTs— it’s impossible to make informed decisions.
- Misalignment between planning and real Jira data
- Jira holds the data, but not the whole picture. Without an integration that interprets velocity, committed points, and workload by role, planning becomes more intuition than management.
- Unexpected bottlenecks
- You plan an entire PI and suddenly a bottleneck appears in a key team or a specific role becomes overloaded. The result: delays, re-planning, and a loss of focus across the whole train.
- Low delivery predictability
- After spending hours preparing the plan, the results don’t hold up. Not because the team lacks capacity, but because there’s no tool turning Jira data into reliable planning.
Features
Agile Planning Integrated with Jira to Boost Delivery
Synchronize sprints, roles, and workloads across teams and ARTs, turning Jira data into actionable planning insights for predictable and efficient delivery.
- Automatic Connection of Sprints with Program Increments
- Links each sprint to its corresponding PI, providing a synchronized view of the entire plan and preventing misalignment between teams and ARTs.
- Real-Time Team Capacity Visibility
- Shows the workload of each team and role in real time, allowing you to detect overloads or available capacity and make informed decisions.
- Intelligent Integration with Jira Data
- Interprets velocity, committed points, and workload by role directly from Jira, turning scattered data into reliable planning.
- Early Bottleneck Detection
- Identifies potential blockages before they occur, avoiding delays and the need for large-scale replanning within the PI.
- Increased Delivery Predictability
- With consolidated and up-to-date information, planning results reflect the team’s reality, improving confidence in deliveries and strategic decision-making.
