Introducing the Contributors Capacity and Workload Dashboard

At Kindor, we’re constantly looking for ways to make complex engineering data simple and actionable. Today we’re excited to launch a brand-new dashboard designed to help project managers and engineering leaders plan, track, and balance workload across teams with confidence.

When managing sprint commitments and team capacity, PMs often face questions like:

• How much work can we realistically commit to this sprint?

• Are certain contributors overloaded?

• How is current progress stacking up against expectations?

• Which contributors might need support to stay on track?

Our new dashboard answers all of these by combining historical output trends with live sprint data, using configurable forecasting modes to help you plan with precision.

🔍 What You’ll Find in the Dashboard

Historical Performance

Understand what “normal output” looks like for each contributor, based on data from the last 7 sprints:

• Typical Sprint Output: a data-driven estimate of how much work a contributor usually completes per sprint cycle (This considers even work outside the sprint but within the sprint dates).

• Historical Range: how wide or narrow their past performance has been.

• Consistency: a quick visual indicator showing how predictable their output is.

This gives you context, so you can make better decisions based on real patterns, not gut feelings.

📊 Load & Capacity Forecast

Here’s where planning meets execution:

• Risk: an overall indicator that highlights contributors who may struggle to complete their assigned work. This combines how much is assigned, delayed work, historical consistency, and more.

• Capacity Left

  • Sprint Only: how much capacity remains given current sprint assignments

  • Including Delays: how capacity is impacted if overdue work* also needs attention

• Open Work (In Sprint): work still pending with sprint due dates

• Open (Delayed): overdue* tasks dragging on capacity: Incomplete Tasks with due dates in the past or linked to Epics with due dates in the past.

• Done (In Sprint): completed work so far.

• Expected Sprint Output: baseline output used in capacity calculation, based on your forecast mode (Aggressive, Typical, Conservative)

This table helps you answer:

Who can take on more work? Who might need scope shifted out? Who is at risk of missing commitments?

The dashboard allows you to calculate projections based on Story Points completed (Recommended) or tasks completed, in case you don't use SPs.

Additionally, you can switch between an aggressive (p75), typical (p50) or conservative (p25) forecasting mode.

At Kindor, we believe better planning starts with better data, and this dashboard is built specifically to help you make smarter, more predictable decisions.
