Plugin to handle coworkers holidays

[Support IVèS]

Hello,

In my company, we are using Jira Software 8.5.1 and we would like to know if a plugin exists to handle coworkers holidays: When coworkers are affected to issues, we need the End Dates to be extended if they take some holidays.

Thank you in advance !

Hi @Support IVèS 

we used BigPicture for holiday plans in combination with the Ressource manager.
And Tempo might help with this too. 
But I am not sure if they automatically reschedule end dates without an additional script. 

But both vendors have good support desk for those questions.

Hi,

Tempo at least does not adapt delivery dates to any resources changes. Tempo Planner has its focus on resource planning.

Hi @nina_schmidt 

Just to confirm - BigPicture will reschedule the task based on the availability of the resource in a given period in time, so no work will be planned for their holidays :)

I hope that this clarifies. 

Best regards,

Our team build an app for that: Vacation Manager for Jira

App uses 1 project for reporting absences. Users are grouped in teams with supervisors approving vacation requests, HR's are managing available vacation days and holidays etc.

Vacation Manager can be configured to display "user on leave" warnings - under each user picker! With this little piece of info you can easily tell if if someone is currently on vacation or on holidays: https://psc-software.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VMSD/pages/355074065/Customized+vacation+warnings 

It also provides API and can be integrated with external calendars (like Outlook): https://psc-software.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VMSD/pages/2342125569/Integrating+Team+Calendars+with+external+calendars

Hi @Support IVèS 

We’re currently using Activity Timeline for planning with built in holidays tracking…you can also track days off and sick leaves in there.
