Our verdict on Tempo Capacity Planner
Tempo Capacity Planner is a Jira-native resource management application for resource managers, project managers, team leads, and administrators. It brings team availability, workloads, allocations, and capacity into planning views for individuals, teams, generic resources, and Jira work items. The product is aimed at organizations that need structured capacity planning around Jira, with support for weekly planning, resource requests, skills matching, and workload management.
Its strongest fit is the connection between planning and execution. Two-way synchronization with Jira keeps work items connected to capacity plans, while workload and availability visualizations help teams review demand across people and teams. Skills- and role-based assignment supports staffing decisions, and generic resources allow early project planning before named contributors are assigned. Plan approvals, recurring plans, capacity indicators, and planned-versus-actual reporting add governance and follow-through. Calendar integrations for Google Calendar and Microsoft 365, along with connections to Tempo Timesheets, Tempo Financial Manager, Structure PPM, Gantt Charts for Structure, APIs, and webhooks, extend the surrounding ecosystem.
Pricing is centered on one paid plan: Capacity Planner costs $11 per user per month with monthly billing. The plan includes capacity planning, workload and resource planning, skills-based staffing, Jira synchronization, reports, and plan approvals. A 30-day free trial is available. The product supports web access and cloud and Data Center deployment models, but its Jira-centered scope and web-only platform coverage make it less suitable for teams seeking a broader, platform-independent resource management system. Choose it when Jira is the operational hub and capacity visibility is the priority; consider an alternative when broader ecosystem coverage matters more than Jira integration.
