How are you doing Team Planning in Jira?

How are you doing Team Planning in Jira?

• Is your team’s planning taking up too much of your time hindering work productivity?
• Are you sure your resources are being used effectively?
• Are you using any Add on to Manage

[Tomasz Rogawski]

Ad. 1 Planning in my team depends on priority and input from management:

• Higher management review priority every month.
• If there is anything new to handle, then an epic is created using recently prepared template to ensure we receive enough information to start execution
• Team members are grouped based on supported application, so they use their existing meetings to break down the work and plan next steps.

Ad. 2  Yes, but it is not always on the same level, because:

• Holiday (Summer) period
• Each team member has individual working style they do not want to change unless they have no other choice due to a closing deadline.
• Management sometimes wants to put something in the backlog using a backdoor, and they not always accept NO for an answer.

Ad. 3 No.

I've found that it's often time consuming to make tickets during our sprint planning, but it's the best way to ensure that all of the planned work is done
