UX Capacity 📦

Last Milestone:

  • Total weights completed: NA
  • Available work days: NA
  • Actual work days: NA
  • Ratio of available:actual work days: NA
  • Maximum capacity: NA

Current Milestone:

  • **Available work days: 21.6 days * 1 product designers = 21.6 available days
  • Actual work days: 21.6 - 0 days off * .65 = 14 days (Tim has limited capacity at 65% due to current lockdown)
  • Ratio of available:actual work days: 14 / 21.6 = .64
  • Estimated capacity: TBD (working on weights)
  • Percentage of time: @timnoah: 100% retention for issues, but will also have MR Review in Fulfillment.
