- CP(hours)
Resource Capacity. The number of working hours per week by a resource divided by the number of working days per week.
Example: If a user works 40 hours a week, there are 5 work days in a week and 22 working days in a month, then the capacity for the resource for that month is 40/5* 22= 176 hours. Resource capacity is fixed and the number of work days in EnterpriseTrack is fixed at 5. General calendar holidays and non-working days do not affect resource capacity.
- RQ(hours)
Pending/Unapproved Requested Effort for Resources. It is the sum of the demand for a role or resource in the form of allocations from projects.
- CM(hours)
Approved/Committed Effort for Resources. When Requested Effort (RQ) is approved it becomes Committed Effort and RQ can be approved is full or partial. If a resource role doesn't require an approved then as soon as effort is allocated it becomes committed effort.
- TD(hours)
Total Demand (RQ+CM). It is the sum of Requested Effort (RQ) for a role or resource and the Committed Effort (CM).
- RQ/CP(Percent)
Requested Effort as a percent of Capacity.
- CM/CP(Percent)
Committed Effort as a percent of Capacity.
- TD/CP(Percent)
Total Demand as a percent of Capacity.
- PL(hours)
Planned Effort for Resources. The sum of an individual resource's planned effort for each assigned task for a given time period. It is not double-counted when rolled up by resource or role.
Example: If John Smith plans to work 110 hours as a DBA and 40hrs as a Unix Administrator for the month of January, then the PL for John for the month of January is 110 +40 = 150 hrs. If Mary Jane plans to work 100 hrs as a DBA in the month of January then the PL for DBA is 110 + 100= 210 hrs. The PL for Mary is 100 hrs. The PL for Unix Administrator is 40 hrs.
- AC(hours)
Actual Effort. The sum of the actual effort by a resource for a given time period. This can come from timesheets. No double counting is done when rolled up by resource or role.
Example: If John Smith has worked 93 hrs as a DBA and 45 hrs as a Unix Administrator in January, then the AC for John is 93+45 = 138 hrs. If Mary Jane worked 97 hrs. as DBA in January, then the AC for Mary is 97. The AC for DBA is 93+97=190 and the AC for Unix Administrator is 45.
- PL/CP(Percent)
Planned Utilization.
- AC/CP(Percent)
