As a Product Manager, I would like be able to capture feature estimates without having the release capacity feature. I don't track capacity at the release level -- at least not in the way Aha! seems to work today. I manage my capacity across all products and releases en masse. I do not set capacity for each individual release because we have multiple releases going on simultaneously. The work around is to either be under- or over-capacity by assigning an arbitrary capacity to the corresponding releases. Not a show-stopper, but it would be nice to suppress the release capacity while keeping my feature estimates, but it appears they only travel together.
Thank you for the idea. Given the low volume of support for this idea, we do not have plans to make updates in this area at this time.
Adding a comment here in hopes of raising visibility of this idea. I'm reminded of this daily when I look at my Features Board. I'd love to be able to turn off capacity planning and time tracking so that I don't see the non-sensical capacity bars but then I also won't be able to capture estimates at the record level. I hope you're willing to revisit this idea soon.
