Utilization & Forecasting FAQs
Employees can forecast the remaining work hours required for their assigned project segments and update progress if they are the lead, to reflect expected effort on ongoing tasks.
Utilization tracking measures the percentage of time employees spend on productive work activities compared to their available working hours.
Billability is calculated by comparing billable hours recorded by employees against their total working hours during a specific timeframe.
Managers can review staff-level workload forecasts and upcoming availability to identify potential over-allocation or underutilization and adjust assignments accordingly.
