Resource management works seamlessly with other system functions. The project resource plan provides accurate information about planned labor costs. The booking calendar ensures that staff utilization is high and balanced.
Resource requests provide a bridge between projects and resource pools, and allow to build project teams effectively, according to defined requirements and availability.
Resource plan is a plan for a specific project, broken down into tasks. This plan is prepared by the project manager. Resource planning is necessary to estimate the labor costs of the project, and for further resources booking.
Resource plan displays the entire team and the assigned tasks. You only need to specify the time needed to complete the tasks.
You can plan in named or generic resources, in different units and scales.
The project manager is not always able to find a resource for the project team. In this case, manager plans the project using generic resources (roles) and then requests the named resources from the resource manager.
The request describes the required resource — role, skills, required capacity, preferred employees.
Resource Manager uses the booking assistant, which will automatically select suitable resources according to the request, and immediately offer to book the capacity applying different booking methods.
Resource booking process can be centralized, through resource managers, or decentralized, in which case project managers themselves book resources for their projects.
Bookings are made at the project level, because the resource manager does not dip down to the task management.
Timetta resource booking process helps to overcome some of the most basic challenges:
Timetta provides resource booking in different scales and units.
MEF PKF has been using Timetta for exactly a year. It took two weeks to start the system, and now it has more than fifty employees. Of course, the accounting of working hours, planning of loading and project management were carried out earlier, without this the normal work of the audit and consulting company is impossible, however after the implementation of the system we reached a new level.
Today, the leaders of our company see all projects in dynamics, and the consolidation of data and analysis of the results of operations of the divisions and the company as a whole takes much less time. This is especially true for long-term and multi-stage consulting projects, where we monitor incoming requests and allocate our resources depending on client activity.
Thus, Timetta allows us to evaluate projects, employees, and customers from different angles and be even more efficient.
More than 120 employees at the ALTHAUS investment consulting group are successfully using Timetta to track working time. The company implemented Timetta in order to evaluate the efficiency of its employees and the marginality of its projects.
User-friendly interface, cloud storage solutions, and incredible functionality allowed implementation of the entire solution for their commercial operation in the shortest possible time.
