Resource Management
SpiraTeam lets you schedule the team members and load balance the task resourcing allocations. As team members work on their assigned tasks they can update their progress in terms of actual and remaining effort. This provides project managers with real-time visibility on the progress of the iteration and early indications of schedule overrun.
What is Resource Management?
Resource allocation and tracking is the ability to look at all the people and other assets on a project and make sure the work is appropriately and evenly distributed. SpiraTeam provides tools to let you see the allocation and make adjustments as necessary.
Resource Tracking
The Resource Tracking screens in SpiraTeam let you view the total assigned workload for the members of the project and determine the resource assignments and perform load balancing if necessary.
You can view the information for a project group, project, specific release, iteration or sprint.
Resource Details
SpiraTeam lets you drill down onto each team member’s schedule to see the individual assigned requirements, tasks, test cases, test sets, and defects to determine if any action is needed.
Resource Task Boards
SpiraTeam also provides planning board views that let you see the user stories, requirements, defects, test cases, and tasks by person:
The drag and drop functionality lets you easily move items between team members.
Timecard Submission
SpiraTeam’s timesheets functionality lets users track how much time they have spent on incidents and tasks across all their products. They can record time against each artifact for a given day in the current week. This time data is used to update the effort recorded against each artifact as well as being available to report on by specific date.
When the timesheet is submitted, SpiraTeam will automatically create artifact and daily totals for the time spent. The new submitted timesheet is now ready to be viewed by the timesheet manager.
The user can always choose the option to view all their timesheets in a sortable, filterable grid. The grid supports multiple queries and filters to make it easy for users to find the desired timesheet.
In addition to the time spent being recorded in the timesheet, SpiraTeam also updates the actual effort in the relevant product artifacts in real-time. That way the project managers can see the total time spent working on any given task or incident, and compare the projected effort with the original estimation.
SpiraTeam also lets you drill down one level further using the History tab and see the individual time entries on the task or incident, one entry per submitted timesheet.
This lets you see the impact of each timesheet on a particular task or incident.
