Resource Planning

This method is best used when:

  • Staff member is on leave, and all their work needs to be reallocated

  • A staff member has left the business, and all work needs to be reallocated

  • A whole practice view of current capacity needs to be understood when reallocating work

To reallocate resources:

  1. Open up the board to the stage level

  2. Click and drag over the weeks you want to reassign

  3. In the reallocation pane, choose

    1. All stages of the project, or the current stage only

    2. The selected project, or all projects

    3. The Staff member you want to reallocate the resources to (use the filter to see more relevant resources)

    4. The time period - 'now' or a specific date, till 'forever' or a specific date

  4. Click reallocate

If you reallocate work to a staff member with a different rate, your budget may be affected

  4. Click the head of the resource you want to reallocate

  5. Use the ellipses ('...') menu and select reallocate

  6. Choose the stage(s), staff member and time period for the reallocation

  7. Click reallocate
