I have a question (aka, serious concern) about the resource planner. I've been pouring over the articles, reading through the community posts, and playing around with the system, and I'm worried about what I think is going to be the answer to my question.
So, my team doesn't necessarily use Workfront the way most people do. We have small project teams of 1-4 people that don't always assign planned hours to tasks or even assign tasks to anyone in particular. We do, however, rely heavily on being able to project time for the coming months.
We currently use legacy resource estimates to project our time three months out to know what kind of capacity everyone has coming up. Each person goes in on their own and puts week by week how much time they think they'll be spending on each project they assist on.
Apart from a person being associated with a task's planned hours, adding in budgeted hours seems to be the only way for someone to project time. But in trying to use the system and from what I've read, it appears you can't report on budgeted hours, only planned hours. If we're not really using planned hours, how can we report our projections? Any help is greatly appreciated! Tiffany Marlin Georgia Institute of Technology
