Planned vs Actual Chart

Overview

The "Planned vs Actual" chart offers an insightful overview of a team's performance over a specific timeframe. It's designed to empower team leaders and managers with the ability to compare the team's capacity against the work that was planned and the work that was eventually delivered.

Key Components

1. Team Capacity (only when reporting by Team): This represents the maximum workload a team can handle during the selected period. It's based on the combined capacities of all team members.

2. Scheduled Time: This represents the amount of work that was scheduled for the team across various projects. This is based on the Original estimate of Jira issues, ActivityTimeline Bookings & Placeholders.

3. Logged Time: Depicts the hours that were actually worked by the team, giving a real-world picture of the team's output based on time submitted through Log Work dialogue (either in Jira or in ActivityTimeline).

Chart Explanation

For week 26 Jun - 02 Jul 2023 we planned to spend only around 23 hours per project, but instead, we spent over 40 hours, which means the initial estimate was incorrect and we are behind the schedule.

Chart Configurations

1. Report by - You can decide what team, projects, or epics to report on, to see how planned compared to Actual. If reporting by the team, you’ll also see the Team Available Capacity for the period and how it compared with the planned:

2. Filter by Team/Project/Epic - filters what issues will be included in the calculation of the chart.

3. Period - You can choose either a pre-selected period or a custom one for the report.
