Plan around real days, not averages - Custom time distribution in the Capacity Planner
Work rarely spreads evenly across a booking. Some days are heads-down; others are half-eaten by meetings, ramp-up, or a hard deadline. Now you can model that reality.
Split any booking and edit individual days to match how the work actually lands - more hours here, fewer there. Portfolio recalculates the overall estimate as you go, so your plan stays accurate without you touching a spreadsheet. The result: capacity forecasts your team will actually recognize, and fewer "that's not how the week looked" conversations.
Just right click on the booking, select Split and off you go!
Assign Roles and Holiday Calendars in bulk with Jira Roles
Mapping people to Roles and Holiday Calendars one by one gets old fast - especially as your org grows. So we connected Portfolio to the structure you already maintain in Jira.
Now you can assign Roles and Holiday Calendars in bulk using Jira Roles. Set it once, and the right people inherit the right role and the right working calendar automatically. Less manual upkeep, fewer mismatches, and a setup that scales with your team instead of slowing it down.

Use Portfolio or Jira Teams in Portfolio - you decide!
Prefer the flexibility of Portfolio Teams? Keep them. Already invested in Jira Teams and want a single source of truth? Use those instead. Select whichever fits how you work - no forced migration, no duplicate setup. You stay in control of how your teams are defined.
Portfolio Formula Builder Rovo agent
The new Portfolio Formula Builder Rovo agent by HeroCoders helps you create custom formulas faster. Just describe what you need, review the suggestion, and use it to get clearer Portfolio insights with less effort.
Upload Holiday Calendars for Public Holidays using an .ics file
Getting public holidays into your plan should not slow down onboarding. Now you can bulk upload Holiday Calendars in .ics format, so teams can start with the right non-working days already in place.
Import a calendar once and Portfolio automatically reflects public holidays in capacity planning. That means faster setup for new teams and regions, fewer manual calendar updates, and more reliable availability forecasts from day one.
Unlimited vacation & sick days
You can now set vacation and sick day allowances to unlimited if you prefer no restrictions within your organization.
Multi-line support in Custom Formulas
Long formulas can become hard to read, review, and maintain when everything sits on one line. Multi-line support in Custom Formulas makes complex logic clearer, so teams can build better calculations with fewer mistakes.
Work Item Limit increased and configurable
The higher, configurable Work Item Limit helps large teams plan and report with fewer gaps. Filters now load up to 10,000 work items by default, and admins can raise the limit further when larger instances need more complete results.
