Capacity planning for Linear work answers a practical question: who can take the next issue without overloading the week? Start with people, not projects. List each person's available hours, scheduled absence, fixed meetings, and current Linear issues. Then compare the remaining room with the planned hours for the new assignment.
Use the plan as a short decision record. A useful entry names the Linear project, issue, assignee, status, target week, planned hours, and owner who approved the assignment. That record keeps the conversation concrete when priorities move, because the team can see whose week changed and which project absorbed the capacity.
Weekly capacity starts with each person's working capacity for the week. Full-time, part-time, and custom schedules need separate values, and scheduled time off must reduce the available total before work is assigned. A 40-hour person with 8 hours of vacation has 32 hours available for project work, planning buffer, and support duties combined.
Break assigned load down by Linear project and issue. A single lump sum hides overloaded projects and makes reassignment harder. Record planned hours for each assignment and set the review window to the week or cycle dates used in planning. Estimates on Linear issues are effort points, not clock time, so time-based capacity needs planned hours and tracked hours as separate records.
Issue count creates a bad workload signal. One engineer can own two high-effort issues across active projects while another owns six small fixes with less planned time. Compare planned hours against available hours by person, then look at project mix. A balanced week respects both total load and focus cost, especially when one person carries work across several Linear projects.
Over capacity means planned work exceeds the person's available hours for the review window. Treat that red flag as an assignment problem first. Reduce scope, move a lower-priority issue, split the work, or change the date window. Keep issue status current in Linear so reviewers can separate current assignments from work that changed state during the week.
A one-off capacity snapshot is enough for a small scheduling decision: next week's names, available hours, planned assignments, and known time off. It fails as a management workflow when assignments change during the week, project priorities compete, or tracked reality diverges from the plan. At that point, the plan needs a durable record that people update as work moves.
Everhour turns Linear project and issue sync into that record. Team members track work from embedded controls, and Resource Planning shows workload on a visual timeline with weekly capacity, time off, and overallocated team members. Managers can then compare planned capacity with actual tracked hours project by project, moving the review from who looks busy to who has verified room.

Use one line per assignment with the Linear project, issue title, assignee, status, target week, planned hours, and priority. Add each person's weekly availability and scheduled absence outside the assignment list, then compare the total assigned hours with available hours. The plan needs enough detail to explain a reassignment without rereading every issue.
Compare planned hours, not issue counts, with each person's available hours for the same week. Availability starts with working capacity and subtracts time off or fixed non-project commitments. A person planned for 36 hours against 32 available hours is over capacity even if the issue list looks short.
No. Issue count hides size, uncertainty, and cross-project switching. Give the next assignment to the person with enough available hours, relevant context, and fewer priority conflicts. A teammate with fewer issues can still be overloaded when those issues carry larger planned hours or sit on multiple active projects.
Estimates on Linear issues are effort points, not clock time. Keep planned hours as separate Everhour Resource Planning assignments, then compare tracked time with those planned hours during review. This keeps prioritization signals separate from the hours used for weekly availability, overload checks, and future scheduling.
Move work before the week starts whenever possible. The clean options are scope reduction, reassignment, a later target date, or splitting the issue so only the ready portion enters the week. Leaving the overload in place turns the capacity plan into a wish list and makes tracked variance harder to interpret.
Everhour Overtimes lets admins set daily and weekly overtime limits, then review overtime in Team Hours as tracked time comes in. The same setup supports 1.5x and 2x tiers and payroll calculations based on employee hourly cost and tracked time, which keeps overload review tied to approved hours.
Everhour Resource Planning shows assignments on a visual timeline with member and project views, weekly capacity, availability gaps, and scheduled time off. With Linear project and issue data synced into Everhour, managers can compare planned capacity with actual tracked time instead of relying on a static assignment list.
Track Linear project work in Everhour, review Team Hours for daily and weekly overtime, and calculate overtime pay from employee hourly cost and tracked time before payroll.
