Tempo Capacity Planner is a Jira-native resource management tool that gives managers real-time visibility into team availability, skill sets, and workload. It helps organizations assign the right people to the right tasks at the right time by providing a bird's-eye view of team bandwidth. Teams can forecast future hiring needs, identify capacity shortfalls, prevent overloading, and optimize workloads across projects. Managers sort resource requests by availability, role, and skill, schedule multiple people on the same Jira item, configure holidays and workloads to avoid burnout, and create recurring plans with approval workflows.
Capacity Planner integrates with Tempo Timesheets for a connected view of planned vs. actual effort, so the plan teams build is continuously measured against the time they actually log. It is part of Tempo's modular, Jira-native suite for Strategic Portfolio Management and sits alongside Financial Manager and Structure PPM, so resourcing decisions tie back to cost and portfolio data. Adopt one app or several – they work better together, every app native to Jira with no separate platform to maintain. From individual team scheduling to organization-wide resource planning across many concurrent projects, Capacity Planner helps deliver work on time and within budget without burning people out.
