Requires the following solutions to be installed:
- Custom Period Enablement (73f495ed-64e6-43dd-8958-dc43f7afb6b7)
Note: Please follow the steps of the solution configuration, and only generate Availabilities after you install the current solution.
Solution Overview
The solution enables the possibility to do capacity planning by a Custom Period. It will work the same way as it works for Years, Quarters, Months and Weeks, but for a Custom Period, which is usually either Program Increment or Team Iteration; however, it can be any other preferred Period.
Solution Installation and Configuration
1. Install Custom Period Enablement solution
Install the solution and generate Periods as described in the solution description. As a result you should have a list of Periods for the maximum planning horizon.
2. Install Availabilities solutions
Make a decision on who you need to do capacity planning for – Users, Teams or/and ARTs – and install and configure one or several solutions from the following group:
IMPORTANT: Do not generate availabilities at this step.
- User Availability in Periods (e66dfd23-316f-4cc7-9604-63097fe99d67)
- Team Availability in Periods (fc7114c3-d036-498b-8a63-3a2160d4f68d)
- Agile Release Train (ART) Availability in Periods (70faa5b3-008c-4726-b7b7-ad708276ecd2)
Configure them for Period.
3. Install Demand and Capacity solutions
- Install Demand and Allocation Core solution (19c387f1-4dce-428d-b2a6-fec0b2312bd8)
- Install the solutions of matching to Availabilities type (User, Team or Agile Release Train (ART))
- User Demand and Allocation (e683fdf5-c716-43fa-8d42-05ce4415b889)
- Team Demand and Allocation (868e93a9-2211-4b45-b207-4399b3e9d9ce)
- Agile Release Train (ART) Demand and Allocation (5094bc62-d370-47a5-af4c-45d53ce63e68)
Configure them for Period.
4. Install Demand and Allocation by Custom Period solution
Install Demand and Allocation by Custom Period (b6de9541-35bb-4aad-8679-53b5fa6f5eab) solution to enable connections of Availabilities, Work Allocations and Demands to Periods.
5. Generate Availabilities.
Now when all the solutions are installed and configured for Period, you can generate Availabilities for Users, Teams or ARTs. To do that follow the description of the Availabilities solutions. As a result Availabilities for Custom Periods will be generated for Users, Teams and/or ARTs.
Now when Work Allocation will be created, Demand will be connected to the Custom Periods, so that you can track capacity by a Custom Period.
