Team and Capacity management

Team management

Team overview

Teams in Luna provide a flexible way to organize users, filter content, and coordinate work across your workspace.

Key benefits

  • Focus - Filter OKRs, launches and milestones by team

  • Scalability - Organize large workspaces without losing visibility

  • Ownership - Assign teams to OKRs, launches, and milestones (directly or through templates)

Team structure

Multiple team membership

  • Users can join multiple teams

  • Each user has a primary team for filtering and organization

  • First team joined becomes the primary team by default

  • Users can change their primary team at any time

Access & visibility

  • Users can see all launches regardless of team (existing permissions apply)

  • Team membership doesn't override existing user role permissions (Admin/Maker/Member/Guest)

How Teams are used across Luna

In Launch management

Assigning teams to launches:

  • Add teams as launch participants when creating or editing launches

  • Assign teams as milestone owners or approvers

  • When you assign a team, all individual team members also become available for selection

Team inheritance from templates:

  • Templates can include default team assignments

  • When creating a launch from a template, team assignments are automatically applied

In filtering and views

Roadmap filtering:

  • In Roadmap views (Table/Timeline/Kanban), filter by one or more teams

  • Shows launches owned by team members whose selected team is their primary team

  • Add "Team" as a dimension in Timeline view to group launches by team

  • In Kanban view, columns are organized by team names based on owner's primary team

Team dimensions in Timeline view:

  • If all launch participants are from the Product team, shows "Product" dimension

  • If participants span Product, Marketing, and Engineering teams, shows all three dimensions for that launch

Launch details page:

  • Filter milestones by specific teams in the milestone module

In OKRs

  • Assign teams as Objective contributors

  • Assign teams as Key Result owners or contributors

Capacity management

Capacity configuration

Before setting team capacity, configure your workspace units:

Capacity units:

  • Weeks - Measure capacity in time periods

  • Points - Measure capacity in story points or effort units

Workload units:

  • Points - Direct point assignments

  • T-shirt sizes - Use size estimates (S/M/L/XL) with custom point mapping

T-shirt size mapping: Define point values for each size (example):

  • S = 20 points

  • M = 40 points

  • L = 80 points

  • XL = 160 points

  • ..

How to set team capacity

  1. Go to Settings > Team Management

  2. Click on a team name to open team details

  3. For each team member, set their individual capacity within this team:

  4. Enter capacity directly, or

  5. Use the breakdown method (Starting capacity, then adjust for Bugs % and Holidays %)

  6. Enter current workload for each team member

  7. Team totals are automatically calculated by summing individual member values

  8. Subscription percentage is automatically computed (Team Workload ÷ Team Capacity)

Note: Users define their capacity within their primary team. If someone belongs to multiple teams, their capacity is set in their primary team context.

Understanding capacity metrics

Individual Level:

  • Capacity - Available bandwidth for each team member (in your configured units)

  • Workload - Current work assigned to each team member (manually entered)

  • Subscription percentage - Automatically calculated utilization (Individual Workload ÷ Individual Capacity)

Team Level:

  • Team Capacity - Sum of all individual member capacities

  • Team Workload - Sum of all individual member workloads

  • Subscription percentage - Automatically calculated team utilization (Team Workload ÷ Team Capacity)

Using capacity data

Use capacity metrics to:

  • Identify over-subscribed teams before planning new launches

  • Balance workload distribution across teams

  • Make informed decisions about launch prioritization

  • Plan resource allocation for upcoming quarters
