How to Use Resource Availability in Orangescrum


Running a business efficiently is all about managing resources effectively. And the two such critical resources are – team and time.

Resource planning, allocation, and efficient management involve careful planning, analysis, foresight and ability to account for possible risks in terms of rapidly changing business demands and landscape.

It is of utmost importance to be aware of the available bandwidth of your resources, your pipeline, in-flight projects and what you can take up further. Thus it is necessary you have a dashboard or a tool that can give you this information on a single pane in real time.

You and your team must always have access to critical information about your resources’ utilization, availability, leave and travel plans if any. More so when you have a globally dispersed and ever mobile workforce.

How to use Resource Availability?

On the Resource Availability Calendar, you can see the resources’ or team member’s “Available” and/or “Booked” hours. You can use the quick project and resource dropdowns to focus on your most precious resources and projects.
Create a task, and never forget to define the “Start Date”, “Due Date” and “estimated hours” in it.
