Team workload

Updated 18 May 2026

Before you assign the next piece of work, two questions usually need a meeting to answer: who's already loaded up, and who's quiet. The workload view answers both in a glance, before you make a commitment you'd then have to undo.

How to read it

Sidebar → Team → Workload. Each team member gets a row. The bar shows tasks with due dates inside the window, per person. The eye is drawn to whoever's longest — that's usually who not to give the next thing to.

The default range is roughly 14 days back to 86 days forward — about three months total. That's deliberately wide so you see commitments piling up, not just this week. (A narrower range picker is on the list. Coming)

What this opens up

Rebalance before it hurts. Drag a few tasks to a quieter teammate, push some dates. The bars shrink in real time as you go.
Spot the quiet ones. A short bar doesn't always mean someone's free — sometimes it means they're not being asked. Use the view to even out the work, not just to fire-fight the loaded ones.
Plan without a meeting. Most "who can take this?" conversations happen because the workload isn't visible. Once it is, the conversation collapses.

How "workload" is calculated

A simple count of tasks with due dates in the window. We don't account for task size, complexity, or external commitments — the point is to surface obvious imbalances ("Sarah has 24 tasks in the next month, Marcus has 4"), not to load-balance to the minute.

What it doesn't do (yet)

A few things are deliberately not in the MVP — they'll earn their way in as the workload view gets used more:

Capacity-based weighting (longer tasks counting more) Coming
Time-zone overlays (who's awake when) Coming
Auto-suggested assignees based on current workload Coming

For now the workload view is a glance, not a planner.
