Resource management is the practice of planning, scheduling, and allocating people to a project. It helps to oversee the use of resources available to ensure efficiency and cost effectiveness.
This module is based on the hourly allocation of a project resource, between a defined start and end date and includes the ability to:
- Track user availability & skills sets
- Request for and assign resources to specific projects
- View resource utilisation
- Forecast project resource costs. Note: this is separate from timesheets which focuses on actual resource costs.
There are 2 key Verto roles involved in hourly resourcing:
- Resource Requestor - Any member of the project team with Edit permissions can raise and submit a resource request.
- Resource Administrator - This is a super user role which has an holistic view of all resource requests. This user type has the ability to either create new resource requests or progress existing ones on-behalf of a requester. This permission is assigned at the User Profile level.
