What is the Capability plan ?

The capacity plan makes it easy to visualize which resources are planned or carried out in which phases, so you can allocate resources to projects as needed.

An allocation corresponds to a resource assigned to a phase or project. The resource can therefore enter time completed on the phase. Activity entries. The project manager can define the target work to be carried out and the remaining work of the assigned resource.

When you first record remaining work :

When the global RAF is initialized, the remaining work is smoothed over a date range ( phase start date or scheduling date and phase end date), excluding days containing completed and manual detailed remaining work , and excluding days not worked by the resource. Resources - Calendar tab

When a phase is shifted, if it contains detailed RAF and, following this modification, the detailed RAF is no longer contained in the phase, then :

Manual detailed remaining work that is no longer between the start and end of the phase is cancelled.

The smoothed detailed remaining work is recalculated and automatically smoothed again.

In the absence of RAFDM, a day contains RAFDM or the value - if the RAFG is not filled in.

There is no view for this screen.

The number of assignments displayed corresponds to the sum of all assignments on a phase for the selected resources/phases. In fact, even though I've selected 14 resources, I may have selected other resources via the project selector, and a resource may be assigned to several phases.

The phase lines displayed are those for which the resource has been assigned, and for which the resource has planned remaining work and/or completed.

An Other assignments line contains values that are either hidden by the display options (Assignments with remaining work or Assignments with completed work) or that contain completed work entered outside the assignment dates. If there is no detailed remaining work , but there is RAFG, then the project can be included in this line.

💡

Depending on the calendar setting (EN-US), the first day of the week may vary. For example - in week view, when hovering over a week, the day displayed is Sunday, - in day view, weeks start on Sunday

Assignments with remaining work	This button will display only the resources with remaining work for the selected projects.
Assignments with completed	This button will display only those resources that are completed for the selected projects.
View	Displays the capacity plan according to the selected resources 🚩 If no resource is selected, this button will be grayed out: it is no longer possible to display the capacity plan .
Day	When the capacity plan is displayed by month or week, this button provides a view by day. 🚨 Display granularity may have been set by default via the Default granularity of the Global configuration

Folding a level	Capacity plan header: Allows you to fold a level on the capacity plan : fold project phases, or fold resource projects, for example. In the capacity plan , at resource level: This button unfolds all lines for the resource: projects and phases. 🚩 This button can be accessed from the capacity plan header line, on the left AND at resource level by means of the chevron.
Unfold a level	In the capacity plan header: Allows you to unfold a level on the capacity plan : unfold project phases, or unfold resource projects, for example.
