What is the best way to manage resource with JIRA?
Asked by Claire Cousens:

I am looking for a app that works with JIRA to easily manage resource across all teams. Or can this be done in JIRA already?

I want to be able to see all allocated resource and also plan for the future too so I can manage capacity going forward and plan ahead

I'm Nataliya from [ActivityTimeline](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220860/activity-timeline-resource-planning-time-tracking?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) team. Taking into consideration your requirements it seems like our add-on fits your request.   
With ActivityTimeline you can plan resources on Personal and Team Timelines. You will be able easily to schedule tasks and allocate resources across the teams.

The workload and availability indicator will give you a clear vision of the available capacity of each Jira user/resource. Vacation/day-off, bookings, placeholders are also available in the add-on.  
ActivityTimeline provides different modules for planning, tracking and reporting including timesheets reports.

I have actually just been looking at your software and I think it could be really useful. I am not sure if we have JIRA set up in the right way to ensure this will work for us, but I am keen to explore the option.

Could we arrange a demo? I would like involve others within the company too, to ensure we all evaluate this.

If you are thinking about resource management in the broader project management context, take a look at [BigPicture](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1212259/bigpicture-project-management-ppm?tab=overview&hosting=cloud).  
The Resources module allows managing Teams' capacity \& planning their allocation. More information you will find [in this thread](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Resource-by-teams/qaq-p/1844108?utm_campaign=subscription_search_answer&utm_content=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=atlcomm#M506252).
