Lotus Notes Advanced Resource Planning and Scheduling Highlights and Benefits

• Abstract workload request
• Resource reservation and confirmation process
• Project and team planning
• Resources, department, and team workload capacity management

Although most Project-oriented businesses build their organizations around project teams, most companies are matrix organizations that follow a traditional hierarchal structure. This can result in difficulties in team planning and resource assignments by project managers that may need to negotiate with non-project entities (departments, business units, etc.) in order to staff their projects.

This is why Genius Planner interactive Gantt chart supports project plans as well as team plans. Genius Planner is the graphical planning tool of choice for the Project Manager as well as for the team manager.

Thanks to its powerful configurable workflow engine, Genius Project for Domino also supports the process of reviewing resource reservations between the project managers and team leaders.

We fully realize that each company has different processes and rules; this is why this process as well as any process supported by Genius Project for Domino, is fully configurable without programming.

Amazing workflow, amazingly easy.

With Genius, you can anticipate resource allocation conflicts, as well as the need for new talent and skills.
