.. _critical-resource:

Critical resource
#################
The critical resources screen will allow you to identify the resources that will cause the project to drift and not miss certain key dates due to lack of capacity on the project.

This amounts to calculating the complete schedule and all your resources in infinite overbooking mode.

Critical resource list
**********************

The critical resources table tells you for each critical resource displayed:

.. figure:: /images/GUI/GANTT_ZONE_TableCriticalResource.png
   :alt: Critical resources list
   
   Critical resources list
   
   
* The name of the resource
* Its load available
* Its load used
* Overbooking load
* Its rank (Index used to calculate the margin = difference between available - used)

This table of critical resources is broken down by project.

.. rubric:: Projects using critical resources

The Projects using critical resources table allows you to visualize the number of days late per project and which resources are causing the delay.

The strategic value has no impact on the display of projects and the determination of critical resources. This (numerical) value is free and left to your discretion. 

It can be a value between 1 and 100, or a number of Business, regardless, this will allow you to identify whether projects consuming critical resources are strategically sound and therefore worth implementing.
   
   
Critical resources planning
***************************

The **Critical resources list by period** table is a representation of the current planning, not the ideal planning.

The display will be done by period defined on the scale (week, month, quarter) or by displaying the "overbooking load" necessary to optimize the planning.


.. figure:: /images/GUI/GANTT_SCR_CriticalResource.png

.. rubric:: Formatting results and indicators

Indicator is a percentage  = (Margin - Subooked) / Available (* 100)

* Define threshold 
   - Defaut Red = "< 20%"
   - Default Orange = "< 5%"    
   
   
* Late planning
   - In red, the resource does not have sufficient capacity to complete the task on time
   -  planned end date > Validated end date - overbooking on the activity

* Missing capacity
   - In yellow, the resource does not have sufficient capacity to complete the task on time but is not the cause of the task delay.
   - Planned end date > Validated end date - no overbooking

* Optimal planning 
   - In green, the resource has sufficient capacity to complete the task on time
   - Planned end date < Validated end date - no overbooking on the activity   

   
Critical resources scenario
***************************

Without affecting your basic schedule, you can simulate starting one or more project(s) on later dates in months.

.. figure:: /images/GUI/GANTT_ZONE_ScenarionCriticalRes.png
   :alt: possible scenarios for a simulation on projects containing critical resources

   possible scenarios for a simulation on projects containing critical resources

You can also add additional capacity to your pools to check if the possible addition of resources can improve the planning of your projects.

You can apply a particular date for the new capacity to be added which will decide when the new capacity can be added.



Critical resources work plan
****************************

You can obtain directly on the critical resources screen the report on the load planning on a selected resource for the indicated period.

   .. index:: Planning & Dynamic work plan

.. _Planning-DynamicWorkPlan:

Planning & Dynamic work plan
############################

In addition to the planning view and the dynamic work plan view, ProjeQtOr offers a view that combines the two screens.

This screen allows you to quickly visualize how the load quantity affects the dates of your projects.

.. figure:: /images/GUI/GANTT_PlanningWorkPlan.png
   :alt: Planning and dynamic workplan screen
   
   Planning and dynamic workplan screen


.. note:: 

   The dynamic load plan combined with the planning was created for reading. 
   
   The table therefore does not offer the display options and restrictions proposed on the dedicated screen.

   
   

Projeqtor offers a dynamic view of the load plan of your resources.

You can view the past and forecast load as well as the future capacity of a resource or all resources and pools.

The display can be restricted using filters.

.. figure:: /images/GUI/GANTT_SCR_DynamicWorkPlan.png
   :alt: Dynamic Work plan
   
   Dynamic Work plan screen


The graph will represent the past and future workload in the form of bars, similar to the Gantt bar detail and the resource or group capacity as a line.

The data is automatically limited to the data for the project(s) selected in the project selector.

Click on |Plus| to open the line of the resources.

All resources of the selected projects are displayed with the work details for each.

.. figure:: /images/GUI/GANTT_ZONE_WorkplanLevel.png
   :alt: Work plan levels
   
   Workplan level

Click again on the |Plus| of a resource to display all the activities on which the resource has work.

Hover over an activity to see its details

.. figure:: /images/GUI/PLANNINGVIEW_ZONE_ActivityDetails_DynWorkPlan.png
   :alt: Details of the activity on dynamic workplan
   
   Details of the activity on dynamic workplan

.. tip::
   
   An option in the screen display options allows you to display the project level or not.
   

Many options allow you to customize the display of the dynamic work plan.


.. figure:: /images/GUI/GANTT_BOX_OptionsDynamicWorkPlan.png
   :alt: Dynamic Workplan options
   
   Dynamic Workplan options
   
**Show project levels** 

Allows you to have all the data of the elements making up the project on one line for a resource.

**Show the project colors**

Allows you to view the load bars in the color assigned to the project in the description section
   
**Show delays**

Allows you to view the load plan in the same colors as the bars in the Gantt chart.

**Show delays by priority**

This option, available only when "show delay" is enabled, will not use the Gantt view colors but the priority colors to manage.

**Show pool of resources**

Pools are a grouping of resources. Their scheduling is distributed across all or part of the group.

**Show resources without work**

When a resource has no more work to do, and therefore no more planned work, their row disappears, just like closed items.

You can therefore display all the resources in a project, even if no work has been assigned to them.

**show work decimals values**
   
Allows you to round or not round the values calculated by the software.   

Color code
**********

Different legends can be applied to the dynamic load plan and therefore change colors.



Mode normal
-----------

Normal mode shows projects in blue tones.

.. figure:: /images/GUI/PLANNINGVIEW_ZONE_WorkplanNormal.png
   :alt: Dynamic Workplan 
   
   Dynamic workplan
  

|BoxPlan| Work left. Assigned work.

|BoxReal| Real work - charged to the timesheet.

|BoxAbs| Absence

      
Mode Project color
------------------

allows you to display the bars in the project color. If the project has no color, the bars are displayed in gray.

.. figure:: images/GUI/PLANNINGVIEW_ZONE_WorkplanProject.png
   :alt: Dynamic Workplan with project color
   
   Dynamic workplan with project color
   


Mode Delays color
-----------------

The deadline mode automatically unchecks the project color mode.

This allows you to return to the same colors as on the Gantt chart.
      
.. figure:: /images/GUI/PLANNINGVIEW_ZONE_WorkplanGantt.png
   :alt: Dynamic Workplan with project color
   
   Dynamic workplan with project color
   
|BoxRealColor| Real work

|BoxRealDelaysColor| Late real work

|BoxPlanColor| Work left. Assigned work.

|BoxDelaysColor| Late, but not overbooked.

|BoxOverbookColor| overbooked, but no late.

|BoxOverbookDelaysColor| overbooked and late.



Mode Delays color with priorities
---------------------------------

The deadline mode with priority visualization will change the colors of the delays.

This allows you to quickly identify the order in which tasks should be completed by highlighting those that are most late.

This will allow us to prioritize red activities, then orange activities, plus youth activities, leaving only green activities, so that everything is fine.


.. figure:: /images/GUI/PLANNINGVIEW_ZONE_WorkplanPriority.png
   :alt: Dynamic Workplan with project color
   
   Dynamic workplan with project color
   
   
|BoxRealOveruse| Overbooked, but no late.

|BoxRealOveruseDelays| Overbooked and late.



Capacity
--------

The line corresponds to the resource's capacity.

It only changes color when the dynamic load plan is displayed in normal mode to indicate overutilization.

|GreenLine| capacity value of the resources

|OrangeLine| Overuse capacity value of the resources


.. figure:: /images/GUI/GANTT_ZONE_WorkPlanSurutilisation.png
   :alt: Work plan with overbooking

When the schedule is displayed in other modes then the line is dotted black and yellow for better readability. 


|PointLine| capacity value of the resources


.. seealso::

   :ref:`Gant chart special bars<special-bars>`
   
      
   
Filters
-------

On each line, we display:

* The name of the resource or resource group preceded by its class icon.

* **Average** capacity utilization = Sum (workload) / Sum (capacity) [expressed in %]

* **Planned** work = Sum (workload) [expressed in days or hours]

* **Available** = Sum (capacity) - Sum (workload) [expressed in days or hours]

Work information is displayed in days or hours depending on the overall load display setting for the selected period.




* **If a Pool is selected**

The data in the graph represents the sum of the data in the Pool and the Resources in the Pool

* **If a Team or Organization is selected**

The data in the graph represents the sum of the data in the Resources and Pools of the team or organization.

* **If no parameters are selected**

The data in the graph represents the sum of the data for all Resources for which the current user is responsible (as listed in the Resource list on the Allocations screen)


Display periods and scales
--------------------------

The scale, which determines the display of the abscissas, is selected at the header level.

You can choose the same scales as for the planning view: day, week, month, quarter for displaying dates.

.. figure:: /images/GUI/GANTT_ZONE_DisplayDatesonWorkPlan.png
   :alt: Display dates on Planning view
   
   Display dates on Planning view

The choice of scale will determine:

* The width of the display of a day, exactly as on the planning view

* The granularity of the data display, on a daily or weekly basis, as is the case for the detail of a Gantt bar in the planning view

* The choice of the period to display will be identical to the selection available on the Gantt with start date (positioned by default on the current date) and end date (empty by default).

* the "entire project" option, which automatically determines the start and end date based on the data to be displayed (exactly as for the Planning view).

* The choice of a duration filter, week, month, quarter, semester, year, will determine the end date automatically in the "display to" field.

* The two scales are independent of each other and can be combined.


.. figure:: /images/GUI/GANTT_ZONE_WorkPlanScale.png
   :alt: Work plan Scale of duration 

   Work plan - Scale of duration
   
   
.. important::

   The display dates of the planning view and the dynamic load plan are linked.

   When you select start and end display dates, they will be identical from one view to another.

   If you change the display dates on the dynamic load plan screen, when you return to the planning view, these display dates will be applied automatically
   




Options
-------

Several options give you the possibility to display the graph in different ways.


.. figure:: /images/GUI/GANTT_ZONE_OptionsDynamic.png
   :alt: Options for the dynamic workplan
   
   Options for the dynamic workplan
   
.. rubric:: Project level   
   
You can choose whether to display the resource's workload for the entire project.

This option allows you to display an additional row and shows the resource's total workload for the various activities in this project, which will be detailed at the next level.   
   
   
   
.. rubric:: Color by project

So, instead of just having dark blue for actual and light blue for planned, the load of each project will be displayed in the project color, if it is entered, or in the project type color if not. 

The actual load will be distinguished by a hatching of the color.


.. figure:: /images/GUI/GANTT_ZONE_ColorProject.png
