Capacity vs Demand Chart

[#1]

Hello,

We are beginning our journey with Workfront and would really like to get some stronger and more detailed insights from the resource planner.

What we would like to see is a 18 month window (6 months historical, 12 months forecast) of our demand (what is planned out for our particular team) showing where that time is being spent, maybe a program, portfolio and project level grouping. [Area Chart]

Combined with this is the actual hours submitted for the last 6 months again grouped in the same way. [Bar Chart]

Over the top, we would like to see how many hours we have available for FTE's [Red Line] and Contractors [Blue Line]

This then maps out as per the example:

With that chart being dynamic, and us using a project template, we can then get a strong view for the demand that we are being asked to deliver and the capacity to actually deliver this.

In the new resource planner you do have a majority of the items required to build this report. and I think this chart should take place above the table view, like the agile burn down charts.

Thanks

Like many others here, I need to run 100’s of exports that generate over 6 million rows of data, only to get 3000 rows of data that’s needed to generate 3 lines on a graph for plan, available and demand.

WF does not seem to be a scalable tool for capacity planning and is a our serious blocker for our company.

Please make changes and improvements to the export and resource planning areas immediately.
