How Resource Planning Works in Vertec

In Vertec, standard hours are maintained for each employee, which represent the resource. Resource Planning takes place on a daily, weekly or monthly basis per employee and project or project phase. This changes the availability of individual employees. However, you can also plan the resources of your employees over a planning period. These can be defined based on the available hours or defined hours per week or planning period.

With efficient Resource Planning, as a project leader, you can optimize project planning in your organization. Plan projects more economically and cost-effectively with Vertec. Keep an eye on capacities, priorities, tasks and the project schedule for your teams at all times. For more technical information, visit the Resource Planning on our Knowledge Base.

What exactly is included in Resource Planning?

Resource Planning includes all the teams and their members, as well as all the resources that are needed to carry out a project. In addition to capacity planning, this can include workspaces, machines, human skills, or specific programs that are needed for a smooth workflow.

In Resource Planning, the particular focus is on the time factor, i.e. the time availability of resources. Which employees are currently on vacation, sick, absent or already full? The available time of a resource is often referred to as capacity in project planning.
