Planning Effort in a project

[Guillaume_Dube1]

Hi everyone,

Our client is staffing ressources and managing it mainly by week, and some division by day. In Customer Projects, efforts are only distributed by month. Is there a way to redistribute those effort by week ? Is there something on this subject in the Roadmap ?

Thank you, 

Guillaume

Hi guidubmim ,

Currently, when using the "plan customer projects" app it is only possible to plan in hours for time-based work packages and distribute the effort across months. Below is a relevant customer influence request:

That said, If advanced resource management (1KC) is in scope, then the planned resources in terms of hours spread over months would flow as resource requests to the resource manager. The resource manager could then use more granular distribution rules to convert the monthly effort of hours to a daily staffing plan for a given time frame. As a result, at an aggregate level, weekly distribution of effort could be obtained and reported on. Below please see reference documentation:

With regards to the road-map, details are on page 22.
