Introducing Float’s latest update: Placeholders📍 Say bye-bye to guessing your future resource allocations. With Placeholders, you can add new and improved… well, placeholders!, to your schedule—like the roles and skills you already know you’ll need six months from now, the new hires you are about to onboard, and the almost-signed-off projects that are currently in the pipeline. (You can even book in non-human resources for upcoming projects, because hey, we all know what happens when there is only one 360-degree camera in the studio and everybody wants to use it, yesterday.) See how to add Placeholders to your planning workflows here → https://lnkd.in/df_xirEA

When planning workloads, it’s important to consider not just the number of tasks but also the complexity and effort each one requires 🧠 Let’s break it down with an example involving cake—because who doesn’t love cake? 🎂 Imagine one team member is tasked with creating a 7-tier wedding cake, while another is baking 100 cupcakes. If you count the number of deliverables, the cupcake maker seems busier. But when you factor in the hours (days?!) needed to bake, ice, and assemble a 7-tier cake, it’s clear that the cake baker has a much bigger job on their hands 🧑🍳 One of the easiest ways to see how much work your team is actually doing is to schedule project work with a resource management tool. A bird’s-eye view of allocations and capacity helps you spot team members overwhelmed with work, and others who have space for more cupcakes—er, projects! 🧁

Your team members are not just resources: they’re individuals with their own work styles, paces, and interests. Getting to know these unique qualities will help you make smarter decisions around workloads for them (and, in turn, for your organization).

🔥🔥🔥 Friday hot take: there’s nothing wrong with 100% utilization… …if the 100% accounts for tasks *outside of project work.* At Float, we encourage 100% utilization with the understanding that this percentage must account for non-billable tasks. Say you are a professional services team with a 40-hour work week → your designers could be 100% allocated in Float, with the 100% broken down into: • 34 hours of billable utilization spent on client deliverables And then: • 2.5 hours of internal meetings, synced from their Google calendar • This week’s 1 hour-long internal training session • 2.5 hours for all other admin and ad-hoc tasks—because we all know they happen every. single. week, and pretending they don’t won’t make them go away 😉

As a resource management spreadsheet, there’s something I need to confess: I struggle to connect in this industry 😥 It’s not that I don’t *want* to. But the other tools in the stack are all best buds, always swapping data and staying in sync, and we have so little in common! Some days I wish I could be replaced with a proper resource management tool, like Float.com. Can you imagine?!?! Instead of trying (and failing) to integrate with project management software, calendars, and messaging apps, I could finally be left alone to work on my math problems 🤩
