Staffing you can see before you promise it

Each person’s booked hours by week, so a partner spots a clash before promising the team.

  • Who is booked wherePlanned hours per person per week, read from every project plan.
  • Overbooking flagsAny week where two engagements claim the same person is marked.
  • When people free upEach person’s last booked week, so unassigned staff are known a month ahead.
