Let's now do the planning for all relevant resources and specific teams. Go to the Assignment Board.

1: Here you can find the filter that you previously created.

2: Create filters for all resources and specific teams as learned before. Keep in mind that you need to create an assignment first to see a project or resource in the filter selection boxes.

Learn more about creating filters for projects and resources.

Define a project assignment with 'Fixed duration per week' strategy.

1: An example:

Moe Grammer is needed for some regular tasks in the

AIM Resource Management project. The teams estimation is that

he will need statistically

16 hours per week until end of this year. Let's create

his assignment!

2: Select 'Create assignment'.

1: Select the algorithm 'Fixed duration per week', the algorithm will distribute the 4 hours per week in the selected timeframe.

Learn more about distribution strategy.

2: Select a project and the relevant

team member (Moe Grammer in our example).

3: Select

time frame (starting

3rd of

May till end of year and

16 hours per week).

4: Check availability. In our example Tina has 31 calendar weeks with capacity. Considering

his planned absence time the availability is

35 calender weeks because of

public holidays and other absences.

5: Add the duration per Week (16 hours in or example)

5: Save and review the result.

Let's fine tune the weekly assignments for a project / resource directly in the board.

1: Solve conflict: Due to a workshop

Moe needs

16 hours in CW 22 and we agreed with the project

team of the

AIM Resource Management project that

Moe can reduce

his assignment for this week.

2: Due to vacation

Moe is not available in CW 23 and 24, so we delete this assignment directly in the board by overwritting the '

16' with '0'. Once the field is left, the value is saved.

3: Export assignments to MS Excel and check complete weekly assignments for a project (JIRA RM Addon in our example).

If editing directly in the board you can use 'Tab' to switch to the next week in the same line and save the edited value.

1: The currently set filter name is displayed here and cannot be changed (if you want to select another one, go back and select another filter in the board).

2: Select a timeframe for the export (default is the currently displayed timeframe on the board).

3: Save and generate the MS Excel file.

Finally we will check the assignments in the exported MS Excel file.

1: Open the MS Excel file and check complete weekly assignments for a project.

2: Check overall assignments for a project (example: use auto sum and divide by 8 to get the amount of working days.
