When you switch to a new view in the Resources module, new coloring rules are applied to help you more easily track over-allocation and under-allocation of resources.
Coloring
The tile colors indicate whether resources are over-allocated or under-allocated. The new view in the Resources module introduces updated coloring rules, where each tile color corresponds to a specific level of resource utilization.
Utilization calculation
workload based on task information:
original estimate
story points
capacity (one of the two kinds of capacity is used for the calculation)
team-based capacity - capacity based on individual memberships in teams
Total capacity - capacity based on workload plans, holiday plans, and absences
Individuals, projects, and skills
green - utilization under 100%
red - utilization is above 100%
Note: yellow is NOT used to indicate approaching over-allocation.
Example: if a person has been assigned 7.8h of workload and their capacity is 8h, the grid cell is green
Teams
green - 0% to 80% utilization
yellow - 80 to 101% utilization
red - 101% or higher utilization
Example:
Custom configuration
Custom coloring is available to all users. BigPicture Enterprise isn’t required.
BigPicture Enterprise
Exception - BigPicture Enterprise
The new Resources module only changes the default coloring rules.
If you have customized the configuration for a box type, your existing workload coloring will remain unchanged. The new Resources module will NOT overwrite any rules you have manually set up.
Old (default) coloring
Returning to the old Resources module view restores the old (default) coloring rules.
