You need to know who works part-time, which employee takes Fridays off for drum lessons, and which co-worker is unavailable after 2 pm. If you\u2019re a <a href=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/remote-project-management-tips\">distributed remote team<\/a> or follow a hybrid work model, you will need to consider location and time zones, too.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you\u2019re a team of five, it\u2019s going to be impossible to accurately store all of that information in your head.

With our <a href=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/group-calendar-benefits\">two-way sync<\/a> in place, all events and bookings are visible in one, centralized place, reducing the chance of anything slipping through the cracks. Plus, you can filter people by location, time zones, skillsets, and departments to get a more precise view of availability over the coming weeks or months.<\/p>\n<p>You can be confident that employees\u2019 unique preferences about how and when they work are automatically taken into account when they are booked for projects. This leads to increased engagement and trust, motivating your employees to stick around with a company that cares about them and lowering your quit rate.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f9f8f8; padding: 30px 40px; margin-top: 40px;\"><em>Download our <a href=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/download-a-free-resource-scheduling-template-for-excel\">free resource scheduling template<\/a> \u2192<\/em><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Next-lean-on-capacity-planning-to-build-your-iron-triangle\"><\/span><b>Next, lean on capacity planning to build your iron triangle<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Capacity planning is a crucial part of resource management.

This idea, known as <a href=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/resource-management-techniques\">resource smoothing<\/a>, includes only booking employees for 70-80% of their available hours and leaves room in your project schedule for tasks that come up unexpectedly.<\/p>\n<p>There are two benefits to this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, employees have time for tasks like status updates, emails, knowledge gathering, and professional development. Or if they need to take time off for healthcare, they will be able to come back and catch up on the backlog without slipping further behind.<\/li>\n<li>Second, employees have the leeway to handle pivots. Projects don\u2019t always go exactly as planned\u2014there are curveballs and changes along the way. When your team members are faced with unforeseen situations, they won\u2019t get derailed or stressed because they can use those extra hours you left on their calendar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/features\/resource-management\">resource management tool<\/a> can help you proactively avoid overbooking employees. <a href=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/\">Resource Guru<\/a> has a clash management feature that alerts you when you try to book someone who is fully booked.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2824 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/resource-guru-booking-clash.jpg\" alt=\"a booking clash notification in resource guru\" width=\"1366\" height=\"786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/resource-guru-booking-clash.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/resource-guru-booking-clash-943x543.jpg.webp 943w, https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/resource-guru-booking-clash-1042x600.jpg.webp 1042w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This means you have to make a conscious choice to add overtime to their calendar or create a waitlisted booking.
