The Multi-Project Resource Usage view in the new release of Planzone

Written by Planzone | Jul 11, 2012 10:12:40 AM

In our article on the launch of the new release of Planzone, we mentioned one of the new improvements of this release: the multi-project resource usage view.

This view is the multi-resource version of the "My Schedule" view and at the same time the multi-project version of Resource usage view in "Project / Planning". By inheritance, all features available in the project resource usage view and the "My Schedule" are also in the multiproject resource usage view. These improvements allow you to :

  • Collapse and expand the allocations, the projects and the resources
  • Modify the hours allocated on each activity
  • Modify the percentage completion on each actitity

The main advantage of the multi-project resource usage view is that, as a project manager, it allows you to :

  • See the utilization of each resource on each project.
  • Identify any utilization problems quickly and easily via color coding.  (Overloads are shown in progressive shades from yellow through to red as the overload becomes more severe.)
  • See what allocations contribute to the overload.
  • To immediately make changes to resolve the incident so that the progress of the project is not delayed.
