Capacity vs Demand Chart

Hello,

We are beginning our journey with Workfront and would really like to get some stronger and more detailed insights from the resource planner.

What we would like to see is a 18 month window (6 months historical, 12 months forecast) of our demand (what is planned out for our particular team) showing where that time is being spent, maybe a program, portfolio and project level grouping. [Area Chart]

Combined with this is the actual hours submitted for the last 6 months again grouped in the same way. [Bar Chart]

Over the top, we would like to see how many hours we have available for FTE's [Red Line] and Contractors [Blue Line]

This then maps out as per the example:

With that chart being dynamic, and us using a project template, we can then get a strong view for the demand that we are being asked to deliver and the capacity to actually deliver this.

In the new resource planner you do have a majority of the items required to build this report. and I think this chart should take place above the table view, like the agile burn down charts.

Thanks

Yes please! We haven't been able to get any useable capacity/demand reporting out of Workfront to-date.

Fantastic idea, even better if it could hang of the various planning tools (a bit like the Gantt view in the Project window) to immediately see the impact of changes made

This would be very helpful. We are exporting our WF data to create versions of this information today. Having it natively in WF would be great!
