Sensei Project Solutions launch Sensei Resource Heatmaps™ app in the Microsoft Store to provide best practice support for Microsoft’s new ‘Resource Engagement Model'

Sensei Project Solutions, the Microsoft productivity experts have launched Sensei Resource Heatmaps™ — a new app for Project Online in the Microsoft Store. Sensei Resource Heatmaps™ provide best practice support for Microsoft’s new 'Resource Engagement Model'.

“Resource managers can now gain instant insight into resource management in Microsoft Project Online and proactively balance the supply and demand for people, expertise and equipment." said James Boman, Solutions Architect at Sensei Project Solutions. “Project managers benefit too, as they can see conflicts for resources assigned to their projects.”

The Sensei Resource Heatmaps introduce three heatmaps that help visualise the balance between resource capacity and demand in a much faster and more intuitive way.

Availability Heatmap: Shows the assignments of resources in relation to their capacity. This quickly shows how busy resources are with work from project schedules.

Engagement Heatmap: Shows the engagement of resources in relation to their capacity. This allows resource managers to quickly determine the commitment level of resources.

Coverage Heatmap: Shows the assignments of resources in relation to their engagements. This allows resource and project managers to ascertain mismatches in resourcing between the project schedules and engagements.

When viewing the Heatmaps, the colouring immediately draws your attention to problems. As users of Project Online would expect, a single click on the schedule icon will open the Project Desktop client to the relevant schedule where the problem can be fixed immediately.

Regardless of the processes used to resolve resourcing in your organisation, the Sensei Resource Heatmaps™ visualisations quickly help you understand where problems are, and get you on-track to resource management success.

The best practice Sensei Resource Heatmaps™ are now available for individual users in the Microsoft Store, and organisations can purchase an Enterprise license directly from Sensei Project Solutions.
