Solutions/Resource managers

Role

Staff for skill and margin — not availability theater.

Capacity, allocations, skills, and demand-supply — the same guardrails whether people are staffed on a project or the support queue.

Where it actually helps

The bench is invisible until it’s too late.

A capacity heatmap shows who’s free, overloaded, or about to roll off — across projects and the support queue.

Over-allocation is discovered in standup.

Over-allocation thresholds and soft/hard allocations flag a conflict before it gets scheduled, not after.

Skills live in a spreadsheet nobody updates.

A skills matrix and demand-supply view match the right person to the right engagement — including support rotations.

Questions

Before you ask.

Does resourcing cover ticket staffing, or just projects?

Both. The same capacity view covers project allocations and skill/load-aware ticket routing, so staffing isn’t split across two systems.

How do placeholders work before I’ve hired?

Allocate a placeholder role, then swap in a named person once they’re hired or assigned — the allocation history carries over.

Do allocation changes need sign-off?

Yes, when you want them to — allocations can route through the same approval flow as time and expenses.
