Workload visibility starts with a practical check: each person has a weekly capacity, and Basecamp to-dos can carry assignees, notes, and dates. A useful review compares committed planned hours against availability before the next to-do lands on someone's list. The goal is to see commitments across projects, not only the single project open on screen.
A project lead should review current assignments, upcoming due dates, time off, and active work before moving work forward. Basecamp remains the place where project context, to-do lists, assignees, notes, and dates live. Everhour provides the planning layer where managers can review capacity by person and planned work by project, client, or task.
A clear workload view needs named people, assigned projects or tasks, a date range, and planned hours. Weekly capacity gives the limit for each person, while planned assignments show the load already promised. Everhour supports full-time, part-time, or custom weekly capacity, so a 20-hour contractor and a 40-hour employee do not appear equally available.
The best view separates planned work from tracked reality. A plan can show 30 assigned hours for the week, while tracked hours later show where the effort actually went. Everhour compares planned capacity with actual tracked time, which gives managers a basis for adjusting future assignments instead of repeating an optimistic schedule.
The common mistake is assigning by availability in one project while ignoring work already promised in another. A person who looks open on a single Basecamp project can already be full across several client projects. A weekly summary solves that by aggregating planned time per person and flagging anyone scheduled beyond weekly capacity.
Overload review should trigger a decision, not a label. The manager can move a to-do to another person, reduce scope, split work across dates, or delay the assignment. The useful signal is specific: planned hours exceed the person's capacity for that week, or scheduled time off leaves fewer working hours than the plan assumes.
A one-time workload snapshot is enough when you need a quick staffing check before a weekly planning meeting. List the active Basecamp work, estimate the hours by person, subtract time off, and compare the total against each person's weekly capacity. That approach works for a small team with short projects and few handoffs.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when assignments change daily, several Basecamp projects share the same people, or managers need an approval trail. Everhour supports weekly capacity, project assignments, tracked hours, timesheet approvals, and team policy settings, so planned load and actual work stay reviewable project by project.

Workload should mean assigned effort against a person's available working capacity for a defined week or date range. Basecamp to-dos provide the work items and assignees. Everhour planning data provides planned hours, weekly capacity, time off, and actual tracked time for comparison.
A workload review should focus on Basecamp projects, to-do lists, and to-dos that represent real effort for a person. Notes, dates, and assignments add context, while planned hours show the commitment. Planning works best when each workload item has a clear owner and a realistic date range.
Planned hours describe the expected effort before or during the assignment. Tracked hours record the time actually spent after work starts. A manager needs both because a person can be under capacity in the plan and still spend more time than expected once blockers, review cycles, or extra requests appear.
A person is over capacity when planned work for the week exceeds that person's weekly availability. Everhour's weekly planning summary highlights overallocated people, and scheduled time off reduces the realistic room for assignments. The decision is then reassignment, scope reduction, date movement, or a smaller weekly commitment.
Weekly review fits most project teams because weekly capacity is the planning unit. Daily review belongs to teams with fast reassignment, support work, or overlapping client deadlines. The review should compare planned load, newly assigned Basecamp to-dos, time off, and tracked hours since the last check.
Everhour Team Management lets admins set weekly capacity per team member, assign roles, organize team groups, and apply team-wide policy defaults. Those controls give managers a cleaner capacity baseline before Basecamp project work is planned across people.
Everhour Resource Planning compares planned capacity with tracked time, so managers can see whether assigned work matched reality. The planner can show assignments by member, project, or client, making it easier to correct future workload plans with actual tracked hours.
Use Everhour weekly capacity, tracked hours, and team management controls to keep Basecamp workload decisions tied to real availability.
