Workload tracking
Are you often faced with the challenge of managing multiple projects simultaneously, grappling with uncertainties about task assignments, team member workloads, and project responsibilities? If so, we have two new workload tracking features that will make your life easier.
The first feature is called the workload heatmap. This heatmap provides a visual snapshot view of your team's availability, ensuring that the people you assign tasks to actually have the capacity to take on the work. Say goodbye to uncertainty and hello to streamlined decision-making.
And, we're excited to introduce the workload schedule. This feature introduces an expanded view of the heatmap, offering a detailed, full-screen display that outlines the projects team members are engaged in, and identifies the reasons for overallocation. Within this view, you can resolve overallocations effectively by reassigning tasks, adjusting task timelines, and fine-tuning the percentage allocations to ensure a balanced workload distribution among team members. Together, these features are designed to enhance team performance and streamline project execution.
Workload tracking is available to licensed users on Smartsheet Business or Enterprise plans.
