Tempo Ideas

Currently, all calendar entries are considered planned capacity in the capacity planner. This leads to inaccurate capacity allocation because many users create calendar entries that do not represent actual project or work activities.

Examples include:

• Lunch breaks

• Working from another location

• Personal reminders

• Focus time blocks

• Free/busy placeholders

• Other informational calendar entries

Proposed Enhancement

Provide a configuration option that allows users or administrators to select which calendar event types are included in capacity planning calculations and visualizations.

Possible options:

• Include only meetings with attendees

• Include only events marked as Busy

• Exclude events marked as Free

• Exclude categories such as lunch breaks or reminders

• Allow custom category-based filtering

• Allow administrators to define global rules

Business Benefit

This enhancement would:

• Improve the accuracy of planned capacity calculations

• Prevent blocked or informational time slots from being interpreted as productive workload

• Reduce false resource constraints

• Provide a more realistic view of team availability and capacity

Problem Statement

The capacity planner currently treats all calendar entries as planned capacity. As a result, blocked time slots such as lunch breaks, location reminders, focus blocks, or events marked as "Free" are incorrectly displayed as allocated capacity. Users should be able to define which calendar event types are considered for capacity planning to ensure accurate resource utilization reporting.
