Manage Resource Requirements

Departments, capacities, skills: who is deployed where in the project and how intensively? Resource management is not needed to tell people what to do and when. It rather creates a documented basis for the use of resources, so that in the context of strategic planning it becomes transparent which capacities are necessary for projects, which areas people come from and which skills they need to bring with them. The current base load also provides information about which capacities are planned in existing projects and line work, and how much capacity is actually available for new topics.

Blue Ant project management software provides you with overviews of both requirements and planning.
