THE CONCEPT

- Let all roles in a matrix organization work in their own world

- Project Managers request Resources from Resource Managers

- Team Managers plan the entire work load of their Resources and commit

People for Projects

- Data is not mixed, instead we compare it in a graphical view



Workload of each team member and

department marked with traffic light colors and

diagrams

Graphical display of requested and committed

resource availability

Immediate update of the graphic when

changes are made to the Gantt chart
