Resourcing
Resourcing is about booking people's time to work on a project. It is entered as a number of hours in a week that they are expected to work on a project. Calculations can be done from the resourced hours.
- The hours x billable rate feeds into the projected burn, highlighting how much of the budget will be consumed.
- The "cost" of resourced hours is also calculated, based of the benefits and costs data entered. This helps with calculating margin.
