What is implemented

Boards combine issue assignments and user capacity in parallel charts for the same date range.

Authentication, issue search, and issue metadata come from Jira APIs. Planning data is layered on top.

Capacity uses working days, public holidays, and per-user scheme assignments instead of flat weekly assumptions.

Supports fixed hours/day, percentage/day, total planned hours, and automatic remaining-workday mode.

Assignments can be colorized by status, status category, or keyword rules to expose risk and state quickly.

Board, issue, user, and assignment access is constrained by team membership in backend services.

Key differences in approach

Area	Work Hero implementation	Common alternative
Issue ownership	Issues stay in Jira; Work Hero reads and references them.	Issue data is copied into a separate task system.
Planning model	Assignments are evaluated against real calendars and scheme histories.	Planning assumes static weekly capacity.
Capacity allocation	Each assignment can choose one of four capacity modes.	Single allocation model for all items.
Visual context	Timeline highlights show today, weekends, holidays, and status-based assignment colors.	Minimal contextual overlays in timeline cells.
Tenant boundaries	Backend queries are constrained by explicit team joins and checks.	Access rules vary by implementation and may be spread across handlers.
