How can I see which engineers have too much work?

In order to see which engineers have too much work, you can utilize the swim lane feature in TopLeft. A swim lane is a horizontal lane on the board that groups tickets based on who they are assigned to. By setting up swim lanes in this way, you can easily visualize the workload of each engineer.

You can quickly identify if an engineer has a large number of tickets assigned to them, either in progress or in their queue of work. This can be indicated by a longer swim lane with more tickets compared to others who may have fewer tickets assigned to them. This allows you to easily identify which engineers may have an excessive workload and need assistance in managing their tasks.

By visualizing the workload of engineers through swim lanes, you can take necessary steps to balance the workload, allocate resources effectively, and ensure that no engineer is overwhelmed with too much work. This helps in optimizing productivity, reducing bottlenecks, and improving the overall efficiency of the team's workflow.
