Use this page when you need to decide who can take the next Linear issue without overloading the week. The practical output is a capacity view by person: weekly availability, planned work already assigned, planned work still open, and the projects that compete for the same hours. Issue count alone does not show load, because one small fix and one multi-day investigation can look equal in a list.
Start with each person's working capacity for the sprint window, then reduce it for planned time off, holidays, support duty, or known meetings when those affect delivery time. Add assigned work against that remaining availability. The useful signal is not who has the fewest issues. The useful signal is who has enough available hours for the next assignment while keeping project commitments realistic.
Estimates on Linear issues help teams compare scope and forecast issue flow. They should stay separate from hour capacity unless your team has a documented conversion rule and reviews that rule against tracked time. Linear estimate scales can use Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-Shirt values, so the number on an issue is an effort or size signal, not a time record by itself.
For sprint planning, treat points as a planning input and hours as the capacity constraint. A developer with 30 available hours can still be overloaded by a small number of complex issues. A large issue with low uncertainty can be easier to schedule than several small issues with review, dependency, and interruption risk. Capacity tracking works best when the assignment owner records the expected hour load explicitly.
Linear projects, issues, assignees, status, tags, and cycles give the work its structure. Capacity tracking adds a person-level view across that structure. If one engineer is assigned 18 hours on Project A, 10 hours on Project B, and 8 hours of support work in the same week, the planner sees the total commitment before the next issue lands.
The common mistake is reviewing a single project in isolation. A project can look healthy while the same people are carrying hidden commitments elsewhere. Review assigned work by person first, then drill into projects to decide what moves. Shift the issue, narrow the scope, change the week, or leave the work unassigned until capacity opens. A visible overload needs an assignment decision, not another status label.
A free snapshot is enough when you need a quick assignment check for one sprint. It answers who appears available, which people are already full, and which project is creating the pressure. It is also enough for a short-lived team that only needs a planning conversation and does not need approval history, reporting, or future comparisons.
A managed workflow is better when planned load must be checked against tracked hours project by project. Everhour Time Tracking lets people use timers or manual entries on tasks and projects, then sends hours into timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review. Admin controls such as approvals, locked periods, reminders, and timer rules keep the record usable after the sprint ends.

Track each person's weekly availability, subtract planned absence or fixed commitments, then compare the remaining hours with assigned work across all Linear projects. Keep the view person-first. Project-first reviews miss overload when the same engineer carries work in several places during the same sprint window.
Effort points should inform scope, not replace hour capacity. Linear issue estimates can use different scales, including Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-Shirt values. Capacity planning needs an hour-based view of availability and planned load, because the person doing the work has a finite weekly schedule.
The strongest signal is planned hours above a person's available weekly capacity. Issue count, priority, and status help explain the work, but they do not show whether the assignee has enough time. Review the over-capacity person, the projects creating the load, and the work that can move without breaking the sprint goal.
Tracked hours show whether planned load matched real work. If a recurring issue type takes 12 hours after being planned at 6 hours, future plans should use the tracked pattern instead of the original guess. Review the variance by project and assignee before adding similar work to the next sprint.
Time off reduces the available hours for the sprint window before work is assigned. A person with 40 weekly hours and 8 hours of planned absence has 32 hours available for project work, minus any standing duties your team schedules separately. Capacity tracking should show absence before the team commits new Linear issues.
Everhour Time Tracking captures task and project hours through timers or manual entries, including embedded tracking controls inside Linear through the browser extension. Those entries can feed timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review instead of staying as a separate note.
Everhour Resource Planning shows workload on visual timelines with member and project views, weekly capacity, availability gaps, scheduled time off, and planned-versus-actual comparisons. Managers can see who is overallocated or has bandwidth before assigning more work.
Track approved hours on Linear work, compare planned load with actual time, and review capacity by person and project. Everhour turns sprint assignments into a durable workload record.
