Hi Community,
Capacity plans now show project dates and key milestones in the same view where you staff work.
Before this, planning could feel a bit like watching a ping-pong rally: your eyes on the capacity plan, then the project timeline, then back again to check whether staffing still matched the schedule.
Now that context is in one place, so it’s easier to see how allocations line up with the actual work ahead.
What’s changing?
- Project start and end dates now appear in capacity plans.
- Key milestones show alongside allocations, so important delivery moments are easier to spot while you plan.
- You can compare staffing windows with project timing in the same place, which makes it easier to catch mismatches before they turn into last-minute reshuffling.
This update follows capacity plan availability, so it’s available on Enterprise, Enterprise+, and Legacy Enterprise plans.
What stays the same?
- Project dates and milestones are still managed in the project itself.
- The timeline context in capacity plans is read-only in this first version.
- Capacity plans remain the place to staff work, now with more of the delivery picture in view.
Why this matters
Planning usually gets harder when the schedule lives off to the side. A date shifts, a milestone moves up, and suddenly you’re double-checking whether staffing still makes sense.
With project dates and milestones visible in capacity plans, it gets easier to spot when an allocation is drifting away from the actual timeline, or when an important delivery moment is getting closer than the staffing plan suggests.
For teams juggling a lot of moving pieces, that added context can cut down on back-and-forth and help planning conversations move faster.
What this could open up next
This is a first step toward a more connected planning experience between project timelines and capacity plans. There’s still more room to build from here, and as always, your feedback helps shape what comes next.
