Resource contention depicts the percentage of issues assigned to the team that fall outside the body of work in question.
Put simply, low percentages mean low resource contention. In this case, low is better.
Let's say a given epic has issues assigned across ten people. If all ten of those people are working only issues related to this epic, the resource contention is 0 percent. The team has no issues assigned that fall outside this epic.
If the resource contention for a given epic shows e.g. 64 percent, this signals a high degree of resource contention. Only a minority of the team's assigned issues (36 percent) relate to the epic in question. Most of their assigned issues are for other work.
