Resource Requests & Hiring
Resource Allocation & Utilization
Track how vendor resources are allocated across projects and their utilization rates.
Allocation Overview
Visual view of all vendor resources and their current assignments:
- Who's working on what
- Capacity available vs. utilized
- Upcoming availability (resources whose SOW is ending)
- Conflicts (resources assigned to multiple projects beyond capacity)
Utilization Reporting
| Metric | Calculation | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Individual Utilization | Billed Hours ÷ Available Hours | 80-100% |
| Team Utilization | Total Billed ÷ Total Available | 75-90% |
| Vendor Utilization | All Resources Utilization Average | > 80% |
| Bench (Unassigned) | Resources with no active assignment | < 10% of pool |
Capacity Planning
- Forecast resource needs based on upcoming SOW start/end dates
- Identify gaps where current resources won't cover needs
- Plan new resource requests in advance
