Leveling resources

Question:     

I have several manufacturing jobs and want to figure out a way to use Milestones to manage my employees.  I have several jobs for which I want to allocate employees.  I want to be able to keep the number of employees level over a time period.  Can I accomplish this?

 

Answer:

Yes!  Using a Milestones Professional Datagraph you can visualize your workload quite easily.  Just enter the work requirements into a column and let Milestones "spread" the work across your timeline.  

Choose a column based "ValueSet" using daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly increments (weekly works best for resource allocation).
