Resource capacity planner
Hi, it would be really great to have a "ressource capacity planner". We are a team of 15, building very small to large (10 months) projects, and we have to find a way to know the ressource occupation in the team, so we can assign the person a task.

Resource capacity planner would be a very helpful feature. However, in order to become useful one indeed introduction of this feature has to be supported by a set of functionalities as well:
-- Resources are to be considered both human and material;
-- Capacity of defining and utilizing the cost rate of resource use (in $/hour or UAH/week, etc.);
-- Resources overloading control capacity;
-- Planned and factual both cost and time assessment capacity (for task, resources, milestones, projects). -

I would love this feature.
For us it would already be enough to see a kind of Gantt Chart showing only our Team members and where there are tasks assigned to them. If you click on them you would dive into the team members detailles view over all his tasks. -

If possible, i would add 'pools' of people with specific skills and availability, and select from them who to assign to a project.
I would also add onboarding module for freelancers. It all is tied nicely into your software... check Kalo and shortlist apps -

Yep exactly it. You sort of need to be able to switch between looking at all your projects in a kind days and weeks format (Time (days/weeks) on X axis- Projects on Y axis) to initially assign project resource requirements. We usually do this in hours.
X project needs 15 hours from Mon 1st - Wed 3rd
Y Project needs 30 hours from Mon 1st - Friday 5th
Z project needs 80 hours from Mon 1st - Friday 12thThen assign staff to those hours. Be great if you could switch to a staff on Y axis projects on X view and then assign staff.
A Staff members assigned to X project and part of Y project
B Staff member assigned to Z project
C staff member assigned to Z projectetc etc..
Be also good if you could "Quick Assign" staff to projects from the project view. as well.
Resource Guru looks awesome..

Ok. Let us know if you like Gurus better than Campers

Hi,
In fact I found an app (resourceguruapp.com), and their features are just what I miss on Freedcamp:
-add resources (meeting room, peoples,..)
-see a schedule for these resources (all in once)
-very easily book a resourceNow I'm dreaming of the fusion of the two, like a Gurucamp or Freedguru, or sthg :))
I'm going to give both a try.
