Trello Board Capacity Analyzer
See how much work each team member has in In Progress—avoid overload.
Nora counts cards per person in the In Progress list and alerts when someone has >5 cards at once. Spread work evenly.
Nora analyzes your Trello board weekly: counts cards in 'In Progress' per person, calculates average (for comparison), and flags anyone above 5 cards as overloaded. The report shows: who has the most work, who has capacity, and suggested rebalancing (move 2 of Alice's cards to Bob). This prevents context-switching and ensures fair distribution. Some teams use card counts as a proxy for effort. Configurable threshold: some teams work on 10 cards at once, others prefer 3.
Runs every monday using Trello, run by your Project Manager.
