Resource management software helps organizations align available capacity with the resource requirements of ongoing and planned projects. With Planforge, you can plan and analyze resources across multiple projects and teams, identify bottlenecks early, and compare different planning scenarios.
Planforge integrates resource management throughout the entire project life cycle. From built-in resource planning in sprint boards and swim-lanes, over scenario planning to real-time resource allocation and utilization views.
Plan your resources upfront and avoid any conflicts and overloads before they happen
Review resource allocation and identify bottlenecks early by monitoring team utilization
Use sprint planning for resource allocation thanks to Planforge's hybrid approach to PPM
Thanks to Planforge, we are finally able to put work packages together without overloading our resources. In addition, due to the simple project planning we found out very quickly that we were lacking the resources for three or four projects that we had initially intended to start this year.

Planforge lets you plan with individual resources, teams, and skills. This enables project managers to plan capacity early and assign specific resources later as requirements become clearer.
How does it work?
Suppose planning an IT project with an estimated effort of 1000 hours. You can assign a team of ten developers and four software testers without actually assigning named resources.
The workload is distributed across available team members and reflected in Planforge’s resource utilization views. Plan ahead at team level, even before individual resources are assigned, and identify realistic resource demand from the outset.
Determine resource requirements for ongoing and planned projects and compare them with available capacity.
Detect upcoming conflicts, overloads, and absences with our highly visual utilization analysis and histogram.
Plan multiple scenarios with our what-if-scenario planning tool, and analyze resource allocation and utilization.
Planforge helps teams make projects work, with access not only to resource management but also to a multitude of other powerful features. Check out how our project and portfolio management capabilities can help your business succeed.
