Resource Management

To provide for successful resource management, PLANTA Project permits the use of a resource-specific calendar, cross-project resource planning plus automatic capacity adjustment, including within the buffer limits. Priorities are taken into account at project and task level. Taking into account the resources assigned to each task, and their available capacities, the system determines capacity requirements and plans them in against the resources. Utilization diagrams enable the user to see quickly whether there is an over- or underload, whether the load is uniform, or which individual tasks are contributing to a peak in the load.
