Request PTO with a plan in Jira

The problem

People file PTO in email. Leads approve blind. Tickets due that week still have the requester as assignee.

How Timeaway helps: one request captures dates, hours, balance impact, and — when needed — which Jira issues are due and how they will be covered.

My time off balances and usage
My time off — earned hours, pending, and year-to-date usage

Steps

  1. My time off → Request time off
  2. Pick leave type, dates, partial day if needed
  3. Check deliverables — see Jira issues due during your leave
  4. Describe the handoff plan when tickets are due
  5. Submit — your lead decides in Approvals
Deliverables due during leave
Deliverables check — issues due while you are away
