Sales probabilities in resource planning

This feature provides utilization graphs taking into account sales probabilities

How this feature creates benefits

The feature "Sales probabilities in resource planning" adds weighted utilization graphs to your Vertec resource planning. This allows project phases to be marked with probability values, making planning more realistic and forward-looking. This gives organizations a more accurate estimate of future utilization and allows them to optimally manage their resources.

Planning uncertainties can be better taken into account, because resource utilization is not only based on fixed project assumptions. Manager and project leaders get a more realistic overview of future utilization and can identify bottlenecks or overcapacity at an early stage.

  • Consideration of sales probabilities in resource planning
  • Three new utilization graphs for better planning overview

How it works

  • Creates the field “Probability” and sets the system setting for new project phases to “Offer” by default
  • Optimal interaction with the feature "root folder sales", as both features support the same workflow
  • Three special utilization overviews are available

Utilization graphs

Phases weighted

  • The planned values of the project phases are multiplied by the specified probability. This results in a weighted representation that takes into account the uncertainty of offers.

Offer/Sell

  • Utilization is broken down by status

Offer/Sell weighted

  • This view combines the status breakdown with the weighting by probabilities. Here, too, planned values are multiplied by the stored probability.
