Resource Replacement on Assignments by Resource Manager
The resource manager can select one or more assignments that require a new resource, choose the replacement resource, and confirm the replacement. With the ability to replace a resource on one or more projects, resource managers can adapt to changing project requirements during the project planning phase and maintain optimal team dynamics. This agility leads to improved project timelines and resource allocation efficiency, ultimately boosting overall project success rates and client satisfaction.
