Forecasting in outline planning, detailed planning down to individual staff, utilization centrally in view: how Linetrack plans resources. Book a demo.
Solution
How Linetrack's resource manager works
The Linetrack resource manager extends project planning with cross-project resource planning.
Forecasts in coarse planning
Estimate needs and check the plausibility of the sales project.
Concrete resource planning
Team and department leads turn the forecast into concrete planning at the individual employee level.
Utilization monitoring
The utilization of teams and departments is monitored and managed centrally.
Resource management
Collaborative resource and capacity planning
Capacities are planned on an hourly basis. Availability can be set centrally and supplemented with factors like vacation or absences.
Resource forecasting in coarse planning
In coarse planning, resources can be planned directly within scheduling as a forecast.
This is especially helpful for long-running projects where detailed planning isn't yet possible.
Resource planning by team and department leads
Department heads are automatically notified and plan their resources within their respective project area.
Forecasts are then converted into concrete staff planning.
Resource management during project execution
A central dashboard provides a constant overview of capacity and utilization.
Resources can be flexibly adjusted as changes occur.
Functionality & Overview
Why is resource management critical?
Effective resource and capacity planning is critical to project success in industry and demonstrably reduces risk in complex project environments. Companies benefit from fewer bottlenecks, as utilization and dependencies are identified early. At the same time, data-driven forecasts lead to more realistic planning, significantly reducing schedule deviations. The result: more stable project workflows, greater planning certainty, and more efficient use of existing resources.
Challenges
Challenges in resource management
When several projects draw on the same people at the same time, the overview of free capacity disappears fast – and bottlenecks only become visible once they've already happened.
Lack of resource transparency
Teams often lack a clear overview of available capacity.
Resource conflicts between projects
Multiple projects need the same specialists or skill sets.
Unbalanced workloads
Some employees are overloaded while others have spare capacity.
Impact

Linetrack optimizes projects, reduces delays, and helps teams identify and minimize risks early.
