As a team manager I would like to be able to plan my capacity/utilization per team member (assignee)

Hello

With the current version of GH it is possible to define non-working days. These apply globally to all assignees. Vacation and other individual leaves/non-working days remain as a major blind spot in the planning process. So it would be great if it would be possible to define non-working days at the assignee level.

This is how the process works for me today:

1. For my sprint and release planning I use the planning board and contexts to show me the view of each team member
2. Using the version view, I then assign tasks/subtasks from each team member (using context) to a version/sprint
3. The "time remaining" figure on the version pannel (right side of screen) tells me how many estimate hours have been assigned to the team member for a given version/sprint
4. I now have to manually check our sharepoint calendar to see/calculate how many days/hours the team member (assignee) is working during the period of the release/sprint (start/end date)
5. With this calculation of available days for the team member, I cross check with the "time remaining" figure in GH
6. If I have overloaded/underloaded the team member, I have to then adjust the number of tasks assigned

The improvement I would like:

• Enter general non-working days using the currently available feature in GH
• Enter non-wokring days per Assignee using the new feature
• Have GH calculate the available days pased on
  • For Version, Component and Projecto verview view: Assignee/Group of current context (JIRA Filter or Custom Filter)
  • For Assignee view: Calculated for each displayed assignee
• Signal overloaded team members with some form of graphical signaling
