Capacity Line in Reports

I'd like the ability to represent a capacity line in a report (likely a pivot report). While we are planning for releases we don't always know what will fit, but this would give us a way to visualize what we think falls below the line. One potential way to do this would be to provide a feature field that can be added to a report that indicates "In" or "Out" (Above or Below) the line. That could then be used to color rows below the line.

    Thank you for your idea. Currently you can view a capacity line on the Features board. We would recommend using this view for release planning as it will allow you to view features above and below the capacity line and then easily drag and drop to reorder. The capacity line will adjust based on estimates of features as you reorder them. You can find more details on capacity planning here.

    The ability to add capacity lines in reports is not currently planned on our roadmap but we will monitor customer feedback here.

    We have the exact same use case in mind. We use reports to provide simplified view to our leadership team as it is unrealistic to ask them to look at the feature board to see what's below/above the capacity line. Instead, we generate a report with releases as columns, initiatives as rows, and features listed in each cell. We would like to be able to highlight feature that are below the line with a different color or some other visual way.

    I would love this too! Makes for a great way to discuss trade-offs with executives.
