Know your Resource Availability

Just adding resources to your team or company isn’t of much help when you don’t know if how big a project you can handle next!

When you do not have enough resources to meet your pipeline demands, you put a lot at stake – your company’s reputation, revenue, client satisfaction, risk of losing customers and lastly demotivated employees.

An active Resource Availability grid or dashboard comes in real handy when you are looking at an ever increasing pipeline.

You know “EXACTLY” how much work you can take up immediately…

How much resources you will have in the coming weeks or months to take on the other upcoming opportunities…

What skills, duration of availability, paid leaves, company holidays, travel etc…

This not only helps you make that “perfect project plan” but also makes you shockproof from any unexpected delays or risks.

Do spend time and make it a practice to have an updated resource availability dashboard.

How Resource Availability in Orangescrum works?

“Quick colour codes” provide you the true status of your resources – Overloaded, those who are Available, Grey indicates a leave or vacation day and Red indicates the resource is adequately booked for the day. This is the information you need at your fingertips so you can plan ahead and allocate your resources efficiently.

When you create a task and assign to a resource and if he is not available –“Resource Availability Pop-up” will show you the date when s/he will be available next and it’ll suggest the other resources available for that period.

Accordingly, you can choose a change in resource or modify task dates to assign the task to the desired resource.

If the resource is available, then you can assign the task to the resource & keep a track of his spent time. When a resource takes a leave, you can enter the details so that it will reflect on the resource calendar for the team and future task allocation.

The calendar provides the filter option to deep dive into a particular project and its resources or a particular resource itself.
