Capacity planning - advanced estimates warnings

Dear Aha Team,

Problem: you can estimate hours/people in advanced estimate that are outside plan duration dates (these can be manual or inherited). It leads capacity plan to ignore these entries and present false data on capacity view. This is extremely misleading when estimated item (initiative/ feature) dates are moving and you loose track of estimates related.

The other issue on advanced estimates is you can select Team that is set with dates outside the estimate duration. This leads into similar issue on capacity planning view.

Ideas:

  1. apply te same rules in advanced planning window as in capacity planning screen to verify date range when estimate is entered and show a warning message for user.

  2. Include the estimates outside the date range on capacity planning screen with warning or red lighted for a decision to take. This feature should be optional to enable/disable on capacity report.
