Resource planning

Resource planning, against capacity you actually have

troi shows utilization across every project. The resource planning described on this page is part of troi five.

troi five: the resources overview of Team Digital, each person with their available time and their hours per day, absences and project assignments below them

Every week, against what the team really has

troi shows utilization across projects in real time, with holidays, sick days and other absences already counted into capacity, and plans against the effort that project estimation calculated. The load shows per person and calendar week, overbooking is marked in colour, and tasks are assigned straight from the resource overview.

Who still has capacity and who is already fully planned shows at a glance, per person and across every project, with the tasks from task management counted in.

Utilization per calendar week for every unit and every person, with each person's tasks and hours in their weeks. Switch between week and month at any time.

Quote items come in as project tasks with the effort on them, and resource planning is linked to project estimation, so capacity is measured against the effort that was calculated.

troi five: Team Digital with Michelle Müller planned at 80 percent and Lars Biehler at 100 percent, and the team's available time of 85 hours
troi five: three people with their utilization rings and their tasks across calendar weeks 12 to 15, Concept Work at 9.5 hours, Landingpage Design at 15.5 hours and User Testing at 15.5 hours
troi five: the project calculation with its service items and hours, linked to the planning, where Design & Concept with 25 hours lands in a person's calendar weeks

The quarter, as capacity really looks

Bottlenecks before they happen

The workload forecast shows where capacity gets tight before it puts the project at risk. Overbooking is marked in colour: yellow for higher load, red for critical overbooking.

troi five: the resources forecast of Team Digital in percent per person and day, one person at 80 percent in orange and one at 100 percent in red, and in front the workload forecast per team and a utilization card per calendar week

Work moves before it piles up

Assign tasks straight from the resource overview and spread an effort over several team members. When capacity gets tight, plan again and give the work to someone with room.

Plan against the capacity you have, not the one you remember

troi takes the load from the same system that holds the projects, the tasks and the hours from time tracking, so the plan rests on what is really booked. Holidays, sick days and other absences flow into capacity automatically, and the workload forecast shows where capacity gets tight before it puts the project at risk.

How it works

See the full week before it happens

The load comes from the projects and tasks themselves, shows per person, and work moves before anyone is overbooked. Utilization shows by calendar week across every running project, with absences counted in. Tasks are assigned straight from the resource overview, an effort can be spread over several team members, and recorded hours keep the plan current.

FAQs

What is resource planning software?

Software that shows who is available and who is fully booked, and lets work be assigned against that. In troi the load comes from the same system that holds the projects, the tasks and the recorded hours, so the plan rests on real capacity.

Can one effort be shared between several people?

Yes. An effort can be spread over several team members.

Does resource planning connect to the other modules?

Yes. It uses the hours calculated in project estimation, the assignments from task management and the figures from time tracking, in one system.

Are absences taken into account?

Yes. Holidays, sick days and other absences flow into capacity planning automatically, so plans rest on real availability rather than theoretical target hours.
