Resource planning and team capacity management
  • Why Resource Planning Prevents Project Disasters

    Poor resource planning causes missed deadlines, burnout, and lost revenue

    Prevent team burnout before it happens

    See when team members are overallocated across multiple projects. Spot unsustainable workloads before people burn out. Rebalance assignments based on actual capacity, not guesswork.

    Know exactly when you can take on new work

    Stop turning away clients because you don't know your team's availability. See capacity gaps at a glance. Accept new projects with confidence knowing you have the resources to deliver.

    Balance workload across your team

    Identify who's drowning in work and who has capacity. Redistribute tasks fairly. Prevent situations where some team members are overloaded while others are underutilized.

    Plan around time off and holidays

    Factor in vacations, sick days, and holidays when planning projects. See scheduled time off on the timeline. Avoid assigning critical work to people who'll be unavailable.

    Common questions about resource planning and team capacity

    How does resource planning work in Everhour?

    Everhour shows team capacity and workload in a visual timeline. Switch between member view (see each person's schedule) or project view (see all projects and assigned resources). Spot overallocation, available capacity, and scheduled time off at a glance.

    Can I see who is overbooked or underutilized?

    Yes, the resource planner highlights overallocated team members in red when they're assigned more hours than their capacity allows. You can also see who has available capacity and when they'll be free for new projects.

    How do I balance workload across my team?

    View each team member's current assignments and capacity. Identify who's overloaded and who has bandwidth. Reassign tasks or adjust project timelines to distribute work more evenly across your team.

    Does the planner show scheduled time off?

    Yes, vacations, sick days, and holidays appear directly on the resource timeline. This helps you plan projects realistically by factoring in when team members will be unavailable.

    Can I plan future projects based on team availability?

    Yes, see when team members will have capacity for new work. Factor in current commitments, scheduled time off, and project deadlines to determine realistic start dates for future projects.

    How do I know when I can take on new clients?

    Check the resource planner to see total team capacity vs. current allocations. Identify capacity gaps where you have bandwidth for new work. This helps you accept projects confidently knowing you have resources to deliver.

    Does resource planning integrate with time tracking?

    Yes, planned capacity is compared against actual tracked time. See if projects are consuming more or less resources than planned. Use historical time data to improve future capacity estimates.

    Can I view resources by project instead of by person?

    Yes, switch to project view to see all active projects, their timelines, assigned team members, and how resources are distributed across projects. This helps identify projects that are understaffed or overstaffed.
