Calculate Team Load Widget details in Program Room for Jira Align

Summary

Learn to calculate the Team Load widget as seen in the Program Room. The logic for this, according to Manage PI planning in the program room, is: story points loaded ÷ team available capacity.

Solution

1. Enable the Team Load widget for a specific Program and a specific PI. Initially, it will have a value of 0%.

2. To populate the right data for the team load:

   1. Create a story with Effort points and associate it with the Team (under the Program chosen in step 1) and a Sprint (from the above PI). This populates the numerator.

   2. Calculate the Team capacity under the Capacity Planning page for the chosen Team. This populates the denominator.

The load is calculated by dividing the team's points loaded by the team's available capacity. If applicable, member weeks will be converted to points.

For example, if the story's Effort is set to 8, and the Team's Available capacity is 158, the calculation will be (8/158) * 100 = 5.1%.
