Examples of Resource Available Capacity Score

The Resource Available Capacity Score is the percentage of time that a resource is available to work during the requested time period on a project resource request.

The application uses the resource calendar, and either the project calendar or the hours per day specified on the project resource request, to calculate the available capacity of a resource.

Following are examples of Resource Availability Score calculations.

Example 1: Resource Available Capacity Score is 100%

In this example:

• The project resource request dates are from Thursday, August 22 to Wednesday, August 28 for the hours per day based on the project calendar.

• The standard working days on the project and resource calendars are 8 hours a day from Monday through Friday, with nonwork days on Saturday and Sunday.

• The resource has no project assignments or nonproject events scheduled during the requested time period.

The following table describes the resource available hours, requested hours, and daily resource available capacity from August 22 through August 28 that are used to determine an Available Capacity Score of 100%.

	Aug 22	Aug 23	Aug 24	Aug 25	Aug 26	Aug 27	Aug 28
Resource available hours	8	8	Nonwork day	Nonwork day	8	8	8
Requested hours	8	8	Nonwork day	Nonwork day	8	8	8
Resource available capacity	100%	100%	Not applicable	Not applicable	100%	100%	100%

The following formula calculates the resource available capacity score for this example in which the sum of the daily available capacity score is 500%.

Example 2: Resource Available Capacity Score is 70%

In this example:

• The resource is requested to work from Thursday, August 22 to Wednesday, August 28, for 4 hours per day as specified on the project resource request.

• The standard working days on the project and resource calendars are 8 hours a day from Monday through Friday, with nonwork days on Saturday and Sunday.

• The resource has an 8-hour project assignment previously scheduled for August 22, and a 6-hour training class on August 23.

The following table describes the resource available hours, requested hours, and daily resource available capacity from August 22 through August 28 that are used to determine an Available Capacity Score of 70%.

	Aug 22	Aug 23	Aug 24	Aug 25	Aug 26	Aug 27	Aug 28
Resource available hours	0	2	Nonwork day	Nonwork day	8	8	8
Requested hours	4	4	Nonwork day	Nonwork day	4	4	4
Resource available capacity	0%	50%	Not applicable	Not applicable	100%	100%	100%

The following formula calculates the resource available capacity score for this example in which the sum of the daily available capacity score is 350%.

Example 3: Resource Available Capacity Score is 65%

In this example:

• The project resource request dates are from Monday, December 2 to Friday, December 13 for the hours per day based on the project calendar.

• The project calendar is 8 hours a day from Monday through Friday, with nonwork days on Saturday and Sunday.

• The resource calendar is 10 hours a day from Monday through Thursday, with nonwork days for the resource on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

• For the first week in December the resource is working only half days (5 hours a day). The resource has a 2-hour training class scheduled for December 9.

The following table describes the resource available hours, requested hours, and daily resource available capacity from December 2 through December 13 that are used to determine an Available Capacity Score of 65%.

	Dec 2	Dec 3	Dec 4	Dec 5	Dec 6	Dec 7	Dec 8	Dec 9	Dec 10	Dec 11	Dec 12	Dec 13
Resource available hours	5	5	5	5	Nonwork day	Nonwork day	Nonwork day	8	10	10	10	Nonwork day
Requested hours	8	8	8	8	8	Nonwork day	Nonwork day	8	8	8	8	8
Resource available capacity	62.5%	62.5%	62.5%	62.5%	0%	Not applicable	Not applicable	100%	100%	100%	100%	0%

The following formula calculates the resource available capacity score for this example in which the sum of the daily available capacity score is 650%.
