Its ease of use and Google Calendar integration was the most requested feature that came out of feedback from our users, and we decided to build it with our Project Management Software.

Resource Availability Feature Launched for Orangescrum SaaS Edition

Ever since we release the Resource Availability feature for the Orangescrum Open Source Edition, there has been a huge and consistent demand for the same in the Cloud Edition by our “ever engaged” users.

We’re happy to announce now that “Resource Availability” is available for Orangescrum Cloud (SaaS) users.

Know your Resource Availability

Just adding resources to your team or company isn’t of much help when you don’t know if how big a project you can handle next!

When you do not have enough resources to meet your pipeline demands, you put a lot at stake – your company’s reputation, revenue, client satisfaction, risk of losing customers and lastly demotivated employees.

An active Resource Availability grid or dashboard comes in real handy when you are looking at an ever increasing pipeline.

You know “EXACTLY” how much work you can take up immediately…

How much resources you will have in the coming weeks or months to take on the other upcoming opportunities…

What skills, duration of availability, paid leaves, company holidays, travel etc…

This not only helps you make that “perfect project plan” but also makes you shockproof from any unexpected delays or risks.

Do spend time and make it a practice to have an updated resource availability dashboard.

How Resource Availability in Orangescrum works?

“Quick colour codes” provide you the true status of your resources – Overloaded, those who are Available, Grey indicates a leave or vacation day and Red indicates the resource is adequately booked for the day. This is the information you need at your fingertips so you can plan ahead and allocate your resources efficiently.
