Allow capacity report to be configured using story points

We are a mature Agile team that uses story points exclusively to estimate the work done in each sprint.

The new capacity report feature rollout is excellent, but it does not allow for story points to be used as the method of estimation for a sprint's scheduled features. As we do not wish to revert to using time/days for estimation, we cannot make use of the capacity report.

Being able to track each sprint's capacity using story points to track individual capacity would be a helpful addition to our use of Aha!.

    High priority for me. You can't say you have capacity reports for individuals and teams but only if you're willing to measure time in days. Thank you.

    As an Agile team, not having the ability to look at this report in Story points unfortunately makes it something we can not use. This would be a hugely valuable report if it could align with how we use Aha with capacity and points today, as well as our Agile methods and connection with JIRA.

    We also would really like the story point capacity planning enabled for individuals.

    We were so excited to leverage the NEW capacity planning tools and did so at the Initiative and Epic Level figuring we could survive with the time based approach while we eagerly wait for the Points based approach. We soon realized that it was all or nothing. We had to disable points on all our features and releases too. We are enjoying the portfolio level capacity planning capabilities but I am afraid we will soon have to delete it all if the point based approach is not introduced. The teams are struggling having lost the points based approach for planning and executing releases.

    I am happy to collaborate on a design approach to keep this simple.

    The ability to use story point estimates and sprint team velocities would be great, at the moment we do this in spreadsheets and it's annoying to see this feature get developed to this stage and still not let you use story points.

    I was surprised that this would not already be here. I will also post a suggestion that Points based capacity planning also integrate with (in our case) Azure DevOps. All of our Features and Master Features (Epics) in Aha are calculated based on work delivered as requirements (ie. PBIs in ADO). Points tell us what the team is doing (velocity) helps us plan given their capacity and allows us to predict when Epics and Features can be slotted since they (in Aha and ADO) are estimated by PMs.

    Glad to see that this Idea has a lot of votes. I'm encouraging every Aha! user I know to up-vote as well.

    Allowing the duration of a 'sprint' will also be needed, as they may not align at month/week boundaries.

    We can't really use the capacity planning until we have points and sprints in there. This would open up some great opportunities to make use of all your hard work!

    i concur - we use story points and velocity to estimate effort and capacity

    Definitely need this, we run on Story Points as time has proven horribly inaccurate when it comes to estimations.

    Agreed! Who uses time anymore anyways :p. I would love to see a survey of the number of orgs using AHA who use time vs those who use points. My gut tells me more are using points since the agile explosion.

    Completely agree with this, we also exclusively use story points and can't use this capacity plan. Our team has to resort to a terrible Excel Spreadsheeted version with constantly out-dated info

    Having a capacity report based on story points would be blissful. Please get this out soon.

Create capacity reports with story points instead of time

Merged
As a product manager, I want to use story points for capacity planning so I can utilise scenario planning and visualise my team's capacity without having to change the time tracking methodology to time in Jira.
