Show planned hours distributed over the course of task duration

Currently, if you build a report to check planned hours through a bar chart, they will be showing all grouped on the dates that the task was created - which is not realistic at all.

This means that planned hours showing in the chart are a reflection of the total of planned hours of the tasks created that week (if you set to see by week).

So if you have a task with one year duration and hundreds of planned hours, for example, you should see them distributed over the course of the task duration instead of see a giant bar in your chart on the week you created the task.

It would also be great in the same report for the assigned hours to be split out against all those assigned rather then to the task owner (I have not found a way to untick the task owner). For example, if we need a campaign created, we would expect a copywriter and designer to be working on the same brief/task, and so if we have allocated 15 days 50 hours - the hours should be split across the designer & copywriter.

This would be so helpful. It would be incredible if I could plot on a line chart the duration of a project on the x-axis and the planned hours AND actual hours on the y-axis. Like the monthly utilization charts for projects. The data must already exist in the system to generate the utilization charts and resource planning, I just want to choose the duration and be able to export it.

My dream would be a line chart where I can plot what I just described but make the lines represent projects, roles, teams, people, etc. and be able to turn lines on and off at will without having to change the report filters. Icing on the top would be:

  • If a line could be added that showed the sum of all the other lines.
  • If I could create hypothetical projects and layer them into the data to see how future unapproved projects would affect the loading.

It's a visual representation of the resource planner with the ability to run hypotheticals.
