Resource Capacity Analysis

According to PMBOK, it is recommended that the project manager manage the 10 areas of knowledge to increase the possibility of success by managing the company's projects.

The management of human resources is considered by many professionals as one of the most complex, because besides dealing with the individual characteristics of people, it also addresses the allocation of resources in the project.

In some situations, the project manager needs to verify the availability of a resource for allocation in some activity within the project. However, he is often not sure whether the professional is available to meet this demand.

Often the project manager encounters a situation where he needs to check the availability of a resource for allocation in some activity within the project. However, he is often not sure whether the professional is available to perform a certain activity.

In this article, we will present a report that allows analysis of resource capacity to solve the problem described above.

In the middle of the project comes an unforeseen

Imagine a situation where the project manager needs to relocate members of his team, but is not sure about the availability or not of some professionals. In order for the project to be delivered on time, the team must carry out the activities within the expected timeframe.

Everything was going as planned, but there was an unforeseen occurrence with one of the resources and some activities will need to be performed by other professionals.

And now, how do you reallocate the project activities by ensuring that the professionals will not be super allocated?

Before answering this question, we will present the features of the resource capacity analysis report that was developed by MLPro.

What is the resource capacity analysis report?

The resource capacity analysis report is a report developed by MLPro to facilitate the visualization of information on the allocation, availability or even unavailability of project resources.

This report displays the information of the monthly resource allocation capacity versus the allocation of resources within a given month. With this information, the project manager can visualize the total hours and the allocation percentage of each resource of the company.

In addition, the report displays a graph with percentage allocation of the resource separated by departments and it is also possible to perform a filter per year, month, department, resource or project.

With easy access to this information, the project manager is able to analyze the availability of his team and thus relocate the professionals according to the need for the project.
