Custom Events in ActivityTimeline
Apart from Jira issues, ActivityTimeline JIRA add-on allows the creation of different types of custom events to manage your resources. These custom events can be categorized into two main types: non-working events and planning events.
Non-working events are used to track time when team members are not available to work on projects, such as vacations, or sick leaves. These events decrease the user’s capacity for work, helping managers accurately gauge the available workforce and adjust project timelines accordingly.
Planning events, on the other hand, assist in the allocation of resources. They enable managers to plan and assign team members to specific duties, ensuring that every project has the necessary personnel for its completion.
By integrating these custom events with the regular tracking of JIRA issues, ActivityTimeline provides a more comprehensive overview of both project timelines and team member availability, leading to more efficient project management and resource planning.
Non-Working Events: Time Off Management (Holidays, Vacations, Sick Leaves, Days Off)
