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%.
