The Time Allocation Dashboard provides a breakdown of time that each developer spends across a set of customer-defined business initiatives. These initiatives can be for different types of allocation including strategic, planning, and capitalization.

We take activity against Jira issues (either directly through Jira or indirectly through associated code activity mapped via PR branch name, title, or description), estimate the rough fraction of time a person spends on those issues during that week, and map them to business initiatives through information contained in Jira. We look for custom field values starting from the lowest level (e.g. Sub-task), and working up to the Issue, and then the Epic. This means that any Issue will inherit the custom field value from the associated Epic unless the Issue itself has a different value for that custom field and will use the value directly selected for that Issue.

We provide Time Allocation at an individual + month + Jira aggregation level.
