Professional Services organizations must juggle multiple projects under tight deadlines and specific client demands. Tempus Resource is purpose-built to meet these challenges, providing a dynamic resource management solution that enhances visibility, resource forecasting, and project alignment.
Winning work based on client needs means project scopes are often defined reactively, making resource planning unpredictable.
Without the ability to easily and reliably view resources’ capacity, it’s difficult to know if proposed timelines are feasible when bidding for a project.
Traditional project management and Gantt-chart tools like Excel, Oracle, and Monday.com fail to provide a clear picture of resource utilization across assigned client projects.
Because projects are won on a rolling basis, it’s difficult to forecast beyond 1-2 years. Additionally, longer-term contracts usually don’t include specific project details upfront, complicating resource allocation and forecasting.
Balancing workload to avoid underutilization (which affects billability) and overutilization (which leads to burnout) is a constant challenge.
Even though HR systems may collect crucial data about skills, this information is often inaccessible to the Resource Managers assigning projects.
Different teams within the organization may use varied tools and processes, leading to inconsistent data and unreliable reporting.
Simulate various staffing scenarios to assess the team’s ability to take on new projects or adjust to changes in scope. This is crucial for planning for maximum visibility.
Easy-to-use interfaces and Excel-like features simplify resource management, forecasting, and capacity planning with an intuitive user interface.
Define individual resource capacities to ensure that everyone is accounted for correctly, regardless of location or work schedule differences.
Instantly view resource utilization through heatmaps and net availability calculations for a clear snapshot of current and future capacity.
Demand planning features allow Project Managers to assign roles needed for projects. Resource Managers can then match these roles with the best available person based on skill and availability.
Role resources can remain allocated to a project to indicate a gap in availability that could put the project at risk.
Timesheets submitted by team members provide crucial data on the actual time spent versus planned allocations, allowing managers to quickly identify if a project is on track or if adjustments are needed. The data also provides valuable insight for future forecasting.
Utilize Gantt charts to visualize all project-related activities, client milestones, and deliverable dates for a comprehensive view of each project’s timeline.
Capture detailed skill profiles and certifications at the resource level to ensure the most qualified personnel are being assigned to specific projects.
This add-on elevates your resource management with advanced business intelligence capabilities that provide real-time alerts based on critical data thresholds.
Tempus Resource integrates seamlessly with a variety of project management and HR tools such as Workday, Oracle, Smartsheet, and Monday.com.
As soon as you enter project and resource data into Tempus Resource, you can immediately gauge resource utilization, identify risks, and start optimizing resource planning efforts. Go beyond project management by defining and comparing allocation versus capacity for accurate forecasting and data-driven decision making.
