What is Resource Guru and why are we building it? If you work in a company that uses a spreadsheet for resource scheduling<\/a> then you will understand the problem we are trying to solve.<\/p>\n

Before co-founding Resource Guru, I used to work as a digital project manager in various marketing and digital agencies. One of my tasks was to book resources to work on projects. You know the type of thing – I need a designer and a copywriter for 5 days starting next Monday. Then I need a programmer to work for 10 days starting in 2 weeks’ time. Etc, etc.<\/p>\n

All these bookings need to be recorded somewhere so that a) other project managers can plan their projects, b) scheduling conflicts can be avoided and c) resources know what they will be working on in the next few days. Is this sounding familiar to you?<\/p>\n

Most companies keep these sort of details in a spreadsheet that looks something like this:<\/p>\n

Ugly isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
