Time management and capacity planning

Time management is key for service and support. Especially when being Head of Support you might need to regularly check on your team members to do’s and relevant Jira dates.

• How about your team’s overall workload and capacities?

• Are there any support tickets which are still unassigned? And if yes, who can take care of them?

• Are there any support tickets with an upcoming (critical) due date?

All those dates are usually saved in Jira.

Support or executive managers might also use Outlook to communicate with customers and colleagues. Many companies and teams also organize their schedules and appointments natively in Outlook. Once again, this means different data silos and sources of information (Jira and Outlook). 

But this what you’d need: a place for all your dates right here in Confluence. Outlook Calendars for Confluence lets you combine the data and share everything in a team calendar.
