Resource management involves effectively organizing and overseeing business resources like assets, finances, and workforce to achieve optimal results quickly. Use these features to enhance your resource management efforts!
Timeline view
Plan your work over time, schedule overdue tasks, and effectively visualize roadmaps by grouping tasks in the Timeline view.
Schedule overdue or unscheduled tasks using the Tasks sidebar on the right. If you don't see it, click the collapsed sidebar on the right to expand it.
Group tasks by assignee to view individual workloads or by priority to identify overlapping tasks:
- In the upper-right, click the Group button.
- Select a grouping option.
Workload view
Use Workload view to visualize daily assignments and compare them with team capacity. Quickly identify overburdened members and reallocate tasks to optimize workload.
Measure capacity in various ways to prioritize work:
- Hours: Turn on the Time Estimates ClickApp to measure capacity by time.
- Tasks: Measure capacity by the number of tasks.
- Points: Enable the Sprint Points ClickApp to give relative sizing to tasks.
- Custom Fields: View capacity and performance using Custom Fields.
Set the capacity for each team member by hovering over the assignee and clicking the pencil icon under the assignee's name.
Weekly capacity is divided evenly from Monday to Friday.
On the Business Plus and Enterprise Plans, you can also customize capacities per day and set different days as weekends with no capacity.
Dashboards
Sprint cards provide scrum masters or product managers with insights to plan sprints and assess team workload, capacity, and task progression.
Use the following Sprint cards to gain insights into team performance:
- Burndown: See how your team performs against a target line and compare against the projection.
- Burnup: Oversee both your scope of work and the work completed.
- Velocity: Visualize the completion rate of your tasks.
- Sprint Cumulative Flow card (Legacy): See your task status progress over time.
Dashboard cards are another great way to manage resources, providing insights into sprints, projects, people, statuses, and more. The following Dashboard cards are ideal for resource management:
- Tasks by Assignee: This card displays the number of tasks per assignee at the Space, Folder, or List level. You can filter by assignee, priority, tags, and more for detailed resource insight.
- Custom Bar, Pie, and Battery Charts: Creating a custom chart provides specific insights for resource management.
To set up a Custom Bar, Pie, or Battery chart:
- Use the assignee on the x-axis for Bar and Battery charts. Group by the assignee for Pie charts.
- Choose a workload type that best fits your needs for analysis. Use the number of tasks, hours estimated, scrum points, or any other Custom Field you have set up!
Manage workload in Team view
Use Team view to manage resources visually. With the workload chart that is available on our Business Plan and above, you can easily see who is available for more tasks and who might be overloaded.
You can measure resource workload and capacity based on:
- The number of tasks done or completed
- Time estimates
Manage resources by dragging and dropping tasks between boxes.
Show tasks without time estimates
If the Time Estimates ClickApp is enabled, you can identify tasks lacking estimates for each assignee. Quickly add estimates to better gauge workloads by clicking the time estimates icon in the lower-right corner of someone's card.
