Resource Allocation
Standard Time® 2012

Standard Time® is primarily a time tracking product for client billing and project management, but it also has a complete resource allocation feature. 

Here is a resource allocation chart produced by Standard Time® 2012.

Hours assigned to resources into the future

In Standard Time, project tasks have the following fields that affect resource allocation.          Scroll down to download a copy!

    - Resource assignment (users and groups)
    - Start and due dates
    - Remaining duration

Resources (users in Standard Time) are allocated to tasks in the Project Task view.  There, you can manage all the tasks and their assignments.  After building a series of tasks for each project, choose View, Project Resource Allocation to view the resource allocation dialog.  You will see a graphical bar chart that represents the time allocated to each resource.  You can quickly see if a task is over-allocated, under-allocated, or correctly allocated.

Blue bars represent correctly allocated time, while red and yellow bars represent over and under allocated time periods.  Time periods are adjustable for Day, Week, Month, and Quarter.  A single bar represents each time period.

In addition to the bar chart, the resource allocation dialog provides two grid views.  You can see time allocated in a task hierarchy, and time allocated to users in a resource hierarchy.  The same information is presented, but in textual form.
