What is team capacity?
For example:
Developer A: 40 hours available
Developer B: 32 hours available
QA engineer: 24 hours available
The team's combined weekly capacity is 96 hours.
You can compare this figure with scheduled work to understand whether the team has enough capacity for upcoming commitments.
Add members to a team
You can add multiple team members to a team and use their combined capacity for team-level planning.
Open Settings.
Open Teams.
Create a new team.
Add the team members you want to include.
Save the team.
Once members are added, their individual capacity is included in the team's total capacity. You can expand the team in the Workload view to see each member and their scheduled work.
Assign tasks directly to a team
You can assign work items to an entire team without selecting an individual team member.
This is useful for high-level resource planning when you know which team will handle the work but haven't decided who will be responsible for it.
Open Workload view.
Group the timeline by Team.
Find the team you want to assign work to.
Drag a work item onto the team's lane.
The work item will be assigned to the team without being assigned to a specific team member.
