Hi There!

I'm developing a resource allocation base for my team, where tasks may involve multiple collaborators, each with distinct daily availability and varying percentages of time commitment. While assigning resources at the project level is an option, it doesn't accommodate the differing daily time percentages required by each collaborator. How can I structure the template to effectively account for these variables?

Hello!

To structure your resource allocation template effectively, create a system that accounts for varying daily availability and commitment percentages. Include task details, collaborator information, and a dynamic time allocation formula—such as Available Hours * Commitment Percentage—to auto-calculate assigned hours. Using tools like Excel, Google Sheets, or project management software, you can integrate automation for flexibility. Also, allow adjustments based on dependencies and unexpected changes to ensure accurate resource distribution. Would you like me to design a sample template for you?
 

Hi Kevin,

Appreciate the response and the offer to design a POC. I just finished configuring another table that links to both ‘Tasks’ and ‘Collaborators’ and tracks their % Daily Time Required there. It worked!

Thanks again!
