Unassigned work

Allocation (workload) vs capacity

In the new Resources module view, new coloring rules are applied to:

• Individuals, projects, and skills:

  • Green - utilization under 100%

  • Red - utilization is above 100%

• Teams:

  • Green - 0% to 80% utilization

  • Yellow - 80 to 101% utilization

  • Red - 101% or higher utilization

To learn more, see the Coloring rules - workload vs capacity page.

In the old Resources module view, when the workload is:

• Less than 75% of the capacity, the bar will change to green color (under-allocation).

• Between 75% and 100% of the capacity, the bar will change to an orange color (moderate allocation).

• Over 100% of the capacity, the bar will change to red color (overallocation).

To learn more, see the Coloring rules - workload vs capacity (old Resources module view) page.

Overall assignment

This feature can show all the tasks to which the resource is assigned that do not fit the Program's scope. Those tasks will be transparent and can not be reassigned or moved.

This is a BigPicture Enterprise feature.

Capacity

The availability of a resource derived from the Workload plans and reduced by the non-working days resulting from Holiday plans.

Remaining capacity

Remaining availability when the resource is assigned to a task in a given time period.

Non-working days

Non-availability period of the resource.
