Activity Timeline: Resource Capacity Planning, Time Tracking

From the very beginning I was shocked with their configuration.. now I admit that it allows to make any adjustments we need. Although I am a little bit conservative person and hate innovations, their new improvements always ease my life and what's more interesting, only their support team can endure me and my million questions, even if I am unbearable. Thanks for your work, keep the pace !

I really like Activity Timeline, specially the auto-schedule functionality! But there is a simple option that is making it difficult to use on a real environment: we don't have the possibility do disable Jira notification for the updates done by Activity Timeline. Can you imagine how many emails my team receives during an auto-schedule operation for a project? We can't simply disable Jira notification, as we can miss some important emails. There is not a time with no user using Jira, as we have employees all around the world. With all my other plugins, I have the option to disable notification for their application. It seems to be just an option to set that on Jira REST API (https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-34423). I'm sure this problem will pop up sooner with all clients, as they start do use Activity Timeline for bigger projects. Please, we need a solution for that! Thanks.

  We will research the possibility of disabling Jira email notifications during the auto-scheduling operation.

  Thanks again,

Being a happy user of previous ActivityTimeline Cloud generation for almost 3 years now. So glad to see you built a native app for Jira Cloud now (was waiting for it so long!) Keep it up! Herta

  Thank you, Herta!

We use Activity Timeline in combination with Tempo and it works very well. The resource planning feature is very practical for small or mid-size teams. Much better then Jira Plans, which is better for larger scale. Logging time is way easier now!

Since we entered a transformation project to move the company to AGILE, we have faced the problem of reconciling short-term planning (sprint-based) with long-term planning (for contractual deadlines) for the execution of customer projects. After evaluating several planning tools linked to Jira, we found in Activity Timeline the tool that provides a clear and visual overview of our resources allocated to projects to balance sprints with workloads. Several features are effective such as the ability to see the trend of future loads towards available capacity and the ability to split the load of an assigned activity between multiple people. We especially appreciated their willingness to take care of our specific needs and provide solutions quickly. For example, we requested planning based on sprints instead of dates and they granted it even though we were in a trial period. Another element that was particularly appreciated compared to other competing tools is the ease and flexibility in creating reports. We encourage anyone with planning needs on Jira to evaluate this tool. Although its configuration may seem complex at first glance, you can count on responsive support and comprehensive and exhaustive documentation. You will be surprised at how quickly it becomes a truly complete and easy-to-use tool.
