We are creating a new experience in Jira to enable capacity planning at the individual level. The goal of the experience is to enable people managers and team leads to plan capacity of individuals in their team across major work streams and define their allocation against each. These major streams of work can be modelled as Jira epics or higher-level work items. We are working towards a closed EAP with a limited set of features for a few customers by the end of 2025, followed by an Open EAP in April–May 2026. We don’t currently have APIs or UI extension points in Connect or Forge; however, we’re committed to building an extensible experience and plan to provide these extension points in the coming months. We’d love your feedback on how we can provide value to both existing and new apps.
