KanBo Resource Management Summary

KanBo Resource Management introduces a comprehensive framework for planning, allocating, and analysing all organizational resources directly inside KanBo.

Core Capabilities

• Unified Resource Model – Manage both time-based (employees, contractors) and unit-based (machines, rooms, equipment) resources in one structure.
• Smart Allocation – Assign resources to tasks or Spaces with defined effort, duration, or intensity.
• Conflict Management – Detect and resolve over-allocations or schedule overlaps in real time.
• Time Tracking & Reporting – Log actual effort and compare with planned capacity for accurate project costing.
• Integration with HR & ERP Systems – Automatically synchronize employee data, holiday calendars, and contract limits.
• Data Visualization & Analytics – Monitor workloads, costs, and utilization through dashSpaces and workload charts.

Business Impact

• Reduce rework and resource bottlenecks.
• Improve cost forecasting and accountability.
• Provide management visibility without spreadsheets or secondary systems.
• Strengthen compliance by tracking time, effort, and approvals centrally.

Current Status

In final testing phase — integration with KanBo Cards, Spaces, and Workload View is under validation.
Future releases will include:

Scheduling Assistant for automatic balancing across projects.

Soft Allocations (tentative planning).

Scenario Planning for “what-if” simulations.
