Question

Does anyone have any idea(s) how to create a Utilization report that measures different groups within a marketing department and incorporates actual hours.

Hi @adornawi1,

 

In addition to the native report suggestion @elliotleson offered, I invite you to consider our Capacity Charts solution, which allow you to easily create insightful resource management reports with only basic Workfront setup.

 

Regards,

Doug

Hey @elliotleson, I noticed your final column called "% Utilization". Is this a calculated field, a calculated report column, or something else? If it's a calculation I'd be interested in knowing what fields you're using in your calculation.

 

I've been exporting an Assignment Report to Excel where I take either Actual Hours (if they exist) or Planned Hours (if no actual hours have been recorded)and divide by Duration x Full-Time Hours (which for us is 7.5 hours a day) to get resource utilization at the task level.

 

Something like this:

=(SUM(IF(ActualHours,ActualHours,PlannedHours))/(TaskDuration*7.5)

 

I'm curious what others are using.
