Project Staffing and Planning
One element of kicking off the project is to ensure that the staffing is in place.
One of the most common challenges for meeting project deadlines is due to poor planning and staffing of the project, as plans are delayed and people are assigned to other projects.
The key job for a PM is therefore not only to plan the project, but also to ensure that the right team is established to execute the project.
In People Planner, you can assign people to the projects and confirm their availability while you staff the project.
You can search and delimit the resources by department or company, or even search for them by available skills.
The preceding figure shows just one Gantt chart for the project; People Planner allows you to use a full WBS structure for graphical project planning. Even though you create detailed plans, you can still assign employees at the project level.
