<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWhether you manage a one-person business, a small team, or a large team, you need to know where yours\/your time and money go and minimize bottlenecks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, if one of the team members gets sick and you need to find a replacement quickly.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t have the information on each team member\u2019s daily attendance<\/a> or time off<\/a> data, and their work capacity<\/a> at a glance, you will need much more time to find a replacement, and maybe eventually don\u2019t even get the job done.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n On the contrary, effective resource planning sets a strong foundation for stable processes and continuous growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So in the same scenario of an employee getting sick – if you know who is free to cover them, and for how long – finding a replacement will be done within seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Effective resource planning ensures that your efforts are used to their fullest potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some of the most obvious benefits of effective resource planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cost optimization<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Effective resource planning helps in controlling costs by identifying the overall budget you have at your disposal and carefully distributing it across the whole project duration and tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Improved decision-making<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Effective resource planning enables organizations to make informed decisions by providing accurate information on the availability and allocation of resources. This helps you in task prioritization and better people management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Increased efficiency and productivity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n By identifying and reducing bottlenecks, you will be able to clearly communicate and implement changes – and streamline your processes. When everyone knows their task, and knows it quickly, it will result in faster completion of tasks and projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Improved customer satisfaction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Effective resource planning ensures that the right resources are available at the right time, leading to the timely delivery of results. This improves customer satisfaction and builds a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clockify by CAKE.com<\/a> enables you to effectively distribute resources across projects and tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n Time tracking software used by millions. Clockify by CAKE.com is a time tracker and timesheet app that lets you track work hours across projects.<\/p>\n\n Here is the list of Clockify features that will help you improve your resource planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Starting from your team\u2019s working days and hours – you can set different working days and daily working capacities for each team member.<\/p>\n\n\n To have more complete information on each team member, you can add custom user fields for information such as employment type (full-time or part-time), or employee ID.<\/p>\n\n\n Team members can be organized into groups, which makes managing people on projects<\/a> easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead of adding people to a project one by one, you can create a group and assign it to a project in one click.<\/p>\n\n\n Get started with Clockify<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Clockify lets you manage employee absences by creating custom time-off policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Create a new policy, select the members to whom it applies, and specify whether it will be expressed in days or hours.<\/p>\n\n\n Then, as employees start requesting their time off, you can approve requests and track request history.<\/p>\n\n\n Once approved, you can track employee absence for the current and future months from the Timeline tab.<\/p>\n\n\n As employees request and use their time off, their balance will automatically change and they can always see their remaining days off right from the Balance tab.<\/p>\n\n\n Clockify also allows you to add additional days to employee time off, regardless of their balance state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, if your company uses the \u201cbank of hours\u201d system and you want to grant employees days off for their overtime hours, you can do so by tracking their overtime hours and adding them as accrued days.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, you can create a special Time off policy called \u201cEarned\u201d and grant employees time off based on their accrued overtime hours.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n Sign up for FREE today<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Clockify by CAKE.com lets you plan your team\u2019s time by making schedules in two possible ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If, for starters, you know that you need 40h a week to be spent working on a project, then you can start planning from a project view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After adding the project, you can proceed to allocate different team members and their hours to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Assigned tasks can be marked as billable or non-billable, and be recurring for a certain number of weeks – which is especially suitable for shift-based workplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n Project view lets you visualize project timelines and add milestones<\/a> for important dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if you prefer planning from the team\u2019s perspective, and you want to see the capacity of each team member before assigning them to more or less complex projects, then you should start from the Team view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add a team member, and then allocate projects accordingly, depending on the team\u2019s daily working capacity and project needs.<\/p>\n\n\n To see the team\u2019s daily capacity when making a schedule, you first need to set their daily working capacity<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then you will be able to see the team\u2019s capacity as \u201cfull<\/em>\u201d, \u201cx hours open<\/em>\u201d, or \u201cx hours over<\/em>\u201d, so you know exactly how many hours you can assign them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After you make and publish schedules, your team can start tracking time on projects or tasks assigned to them right from their Calendar view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Schedules will also reflect approved time off, so you know who’s available and when.<\/p>\n\n\n These are the most popular methods of time tracking in Clockify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Time tracking in Clockify is done through the:<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the tracker mode, you can specify the details of a task you are working on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The timer records the beginning and end of your activity, adding to your entries log after you enter a description of your work, the project, and the client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you forget to start the timer right away, the manual tracker mode allows you to manually enter the start and end times of past, present, or future tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n Track time with Clockify<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The timesheet summarizes the work done on each project.
