Make sure tasks are distributed fairly
The out-of-the-box Jira workload report offers limited insights. This is because you can’t combine, compare, or visualize multiple data points in one comprehensive view. This makes it hard to understand if work is being distributed fairly, if bottlenecks are present, and if estimates match the actual time required to finish tasks.
With Report Builder for Jira, you can create a much more comprehensive workload by assignee report. It’s based on a built-in template that you can customize. You can use it to deep-dive into your workload data and understand numbers of tasks assigned, amount of hours allocated, and how many ‘small’ or ‘big’ tasks an assignee has. You can also see whether any team members are struggling to complete their work.
Understand team workloads on Jira data alone
Most workload reporting tools rely on data from some proprietary time tracking system with team and work day calendars you have to set up.
Report Builder’s workload report uses the data that is available in Jira already, and nothing else. No special setup is necessary; the tool simply analyzes your issues in terms of count, estimates, and logged time.
