Has anybody tried to use cards (a card per team member?) as a way to do some ”resource management”? I got a hint considering using cards but I can’t figure out how to start…

Lisa,

What I have managed to do, is use the Iteration card itself to do some “capacity” reporting. I enter the number of developers available during a iteration, and calculate the amount of capacity, b multiplying it with a constant.

To plan from a resource level, if you team is small, you could try the following:

1. Add each team member as a property to the “iteration” cards. Enter how many hours they are available in this iteration. This can then be summed up using a formula property on an iteration card, and rolled up into you Release
2. Using Cards for each team member – this would mean you need to add team members to every iteration. Each team member can go add into the card the number of days he/she is available during this iteration(into a property) , then you can roll up this metric (you would have to create a Tree: Iteration -> Team Member)

Hope this is helpful, let me know if you would like any more information

Super answer Dheeraj,
Tried out your 2:nd suggestion with 2 properties, available and actual time. It worked really well so again thank you.
