Balance your team's workload

Spot overloaded teammates and rebalance tasks before deadlines slip.

Overloaded teammates miss deadlines and burn out. Catch capacity problems early by checking who's assigned too much work for the sprint.

The Workload view shows each teammate's hours at a glance, so you can spot bottlenecks and move tasks before they become blockers.

Each bar is one teammate's assigned hours for the sprint. Marco is over capacity, so that is the bar to fix.
