Does your organization run programs with multiple projects? Are your project managers responsible for managing large volumes of projects at the same time? Are you looking for an efficiency win? I think most organization will say yes and could really benefit from this idea.
Idea: Implement the ability to quickly and easily assign users to roles at not only the project level, but also on the program level which would then cascade to all associated projects. Add a Workload Balancer at the Program level with ability to do Bulk Assignments relative to the cumulative roles identified in the associated projects.
How could this work? Expose the Workload Balancer on a Program which would allow ability to assign/override any user on any given project for a selected role. If a Project Manager assigned a user at the Project Level, this would then subsequently override the Program Level assignment; there could even be an indicator carried up to the program level that indicates multiple users or the values as well for a quick display if desired.
Current Experience Challenge: Project Managers must either manually assign users task by task, or potentially through bulk edit through sifting throught tasks, or by going to the Workload Balancer for every project. We commonly are running 10-15 projects or more and this requires a very significant amount of time every week to simply assign the same user.
