Show actual hours in the workload balancer

We love the new edit allocation feature in the Workload balancer. It would be even cooler if actual hours already logged could be shown, or related to adjusting allocations.


For example, if a task has 20 planned hours, and 5 actual hours were logged on the first day of the task, then the allocation for the remaining days should show the remaining planned hours (15) split across the remaining days, and the first day should show 5 actual hours and not be editable.

This would be great for our team! When using greater than one-day durations instead of "doing the mental math" it would be nice if it could allocate the appropriate amount of time based on the remaining planned hours and planned duration.

Yes please!
We've had a large number of requests for this (see actuals on the WLB)

It would also be great to have the ability to see burn (planned - actual) per resource, over a given time frame either in the WLB or Resource Planner.

Curious, did you all ever figure out a solution for this?

Nope, @connoro2 .  We attempted pulling WF data into a BI tool, but it's a big lift with all the rules and criteria to make sure the data is accurate.  We have a meeting planned with WF soon to talk about this.

@nickva7 Please share any ideas or updates you receive regarding this if possible. I would be curious to hear what they have to say.

Hi @kurtos,

 

As @nickva7 asserts, this concept is indeed a big lift; but something we worked out and include in our Capacity Charts solution, which I invite you to consider leveraging (vs repeating that work) while this Idea is assessed. Happy to chat further via doug.denhoed@atappstore.com.

 

Regards,

Doug
