Resource management and line management
Where will we run short of people, and which skills are we missing?
You see bottlenecks before they delay a project. The heatmap shows resource conflicts per person and period.
Today
The bottleneck shows up once the date is already set
Utilisation lives in heads and spreadsheets
Who is booked when and how heavily is known within the teams. At portfolio level that information is not available when the next commitment is due.
Skills are searched for when they are missing
Which skills exist in-house and who confirmed them is rarely recorded centrally. An initiative's demand is therefore settled by asking around.
Internal or external is decided by gut feeling
Whether a demand is staffed internally or sourced externally is often decided under time pressure, without a structured comparison and without involving procurement early.
What changes
Capacity becomes a plannable quantity in the portfolio
The team can keep what was promised. The heatmap shows overload and free time per person, the skill gap the missing skill.
Resource management
What you have afterwards
What resource steering holds afterwards
- An overview of overload and free time per person, in the utilisation heatmap.
- The missing skill per initiative, from the confirmed skills catalogue.
- Staffing requests with a clear approval.
- A path from open demand to a tender draft, with all the context.
Common objections
- Our works council views utilisation per person critically.
- The view is for planning capacity, not for assessing people. The module is available from Professional, switched on per organisation. Documents for the works agreement are available up front.
- Does ValueSpoc calculate the make-or-buy decision for us?
- No. The comparison frame asks the question in a structured way, links it to demand and sourcing and records the decision. The assumptions for a calculation are yours.
- How current is the capacity data?
- As current as your organisation's bookings. What is not booked shows as free, and absences can be recorded per person as capacity periods.
