What Is Resource Management Software?
Resource management software helps organisations plan, allocate and monitor people and their available capacity across projects and business activities.
It provides visibility into team workloads, resource availability, project commitments and potential capacity constraints.
With Asana, organisations can connect project work with workload and capacity planning, helping managers make informed resource allocation decisions.
Vistar helps businesses implement Asana resource management capabilities according to their operational requirements.
When nobody can see team workload, the same people carry everything.
- Uneven work distribution
- Overload next to spare capacity
- No view of availability
- Hard to staff projects
- Competing priorities
- Planning on assumptions
- Bottlenecks found too late
How Asana transforms resource management
Team Workload Management
Every person's tasks across projects, measured against their weekly capacity.
- Spot overloaded and underused people
- Drag and drop to rebalance
- Measure in hours, tasks or points
Resource Capacity Planning
Allocate people to projects month by month and see where commitments exceed capacity.
- Plan in hours or % of time
- Compare allocations with availability
- Catch over-commitment early
Project Resource Allocation
See who is committed to what before you assign new work.
- Clear ownership on every project
- Resource distribution across initiatives
Resource Availability & Scheduling
Out-of-office dates appear in workload and capacity plans, so schedules reflect who is actually available.
Resource Forecasting & Capacity Planning
Scheduled effort into the coming weeks and months, so capacity gaps show up while there is still time to act.
Multi-Project Resource Management
See how each person's week is split across projects and where shared people are pulled in too many directions.
Resource Utilisation Tracking & Reporting
Time tracking and dashboards show how capacity is really used, with Power BI and Tableau connections for wider reporting.
