Resource Loading Report

This report is run against selected people resources on the Resource Demand by Skill report. The report shows the projects for each resource along with the FTE value. The Resource Manager can assign resources and generate a report of projects to which selected people are committed.

For each resource person, the report shows the assigned task hours divided by the available hours. The results shown on the report are presented in FTE (Full Time Equivalent) hours. Assigned task hours are the hours a person is assigned to tasks within the specified period. Available hours are the available working hours within the specified period. If a person is associated to a calendar, non-working days are counted in the overall available working hours.

Note: Summary tasks do not reflect task effort. To see effort on a summary level, you can create a dummy task which is equal to a summary task and assign managers or leaders to that task to see it in the resource loading report.

You can change the period to Weekly, Monthly, or Quarterly in the chooser field in the upper-right corner of the report.

Overcommitted periods are displayed with visual cues:

  • FTE values for any period with a threshold value between 1.0.1 to 1.5 are displayed in a yellow font.
  • FTE values for any period with a threshold value greater than 1.5 are displayed in a red font.
