A Guide to Budgeting with Agile Projects

 Agile project management is a very involved process. While it is designed to improve project management in numerous ways — and by most accounts does just that — it still involves large teams, a variety of tasks, and a degree of flexibility that other methods don’t account for. If you’re not familiar with the ins and outs, our comprehensive guide to agile can serve as a nice introduction.

But basically, it’s a project management process designed to foster collaboration with stakeholders, on-the-go adjustments, and rapid prototype delivery, all in the name of achieving a perfected final product.

Generally speaking, agile project management is viewed as a very effective modern method.

The emphasis on collaboration and adaptability make it the preference of many development teams and clients alike, and the end products often come closer to meeting expectations than those developed via other project processes.

As important as the process itself may be though, it’s also vital for any team beginning an agile project to develop a sound budget before getting started.

What Is Team Utilization?

Data like estimated hours and spending hours for tasks can give you an overview of your team’s workload.And utilization becomes an important part when it comes to the point when the demand is highest.

The equation calculates the efficiency of an employee by dividing the amount of time they spend on client-facing tasks by their total availability in a day.

Authentically, utilization displays the billable efficiency of your team.

Introducing Team Utilization Report In Orangescrum

The team utilization report within Orangescrum gives you a quick look at the team’s workload, allowing you to identify those who are over capacity and those who could take on more work — ultimately helping you meet project deadlines.

Users just can find the team utilization report on the “All Report” page. 

By clicking at the Team Utilization tab, the users are directly redirected to the Team Utilization details page or report dashboard.

You will have the list your resources with the side-wise view of their Estimated Hours, Actual Hours, and the percentage of Estimated vs Actual hours of the week respectively.

The team utilization report dashboard comes with different metrics. Let’s go through them one by one.
