What it does

Empirical forecasts when Jira epics may complete by simulating issues across sprints and the backlog in rank order. The simulation assigns cycle times based on historical data for each developer and estimate. It produces a probabilistic forecast for each epic and automatically generates a Gantt chart. Forecasts update when backlog priorities, assignments, scope, or team capacity change.
