Resource Forecasting
Resource forecasting is the process of anticipating your organization’s resource needs over a future period of time. This enables expectations to be managed for existing and future projects and potential opportunities.
Our marquee enhancement in this release is a true resource forecasting game changer. This feature will provide customers with the ability to combine soft booked resource requests together with committed projects and holidays. The core benefit will be a single source of truth into the actual and anticipated resource demands on the business, providing insight into when additional resources need to be onboarded to account for increased workload.
