Resource Capacity Plannin
Allocate people to projects, track utilisation %, flag over-allocation
Planning who works on what in spreadsheets means nobody really knows who is over-booked until a deadline slips. This board allocates named hr.employees to projects (and tasks) for a date range at a percentage of their capacity, computes available and allocated hours straight from each person's working calendar, and flags over-allocation the moment overlapping confirmed bookings exceed 100%. Bulk-assign a whole team, rebalance an over-booked resource by trimming or scaling, and read an eight-week heat board — all on Community Project and HR, a real alternative to Enterprise Planning for PMOs, agencies and professional-services firms.
Key Features
Resource allocations with lifecycle
gb.resource.allocation books an hr.employee onto a project.project (and optional project.task) for a date range at a chosen capacity_percent. It runs draft to confirmed to done/cancelled via action_confirm, action_done and action_cancel, with every change tracked on mail.thread chatter.
Calendar-accurate hours
_compute_hours_per_day reads each employee's resource_calendar_id, and _compute_period_hours counts only weekday working days in the period. available_hours and allocated_hours (available × capacity_percent) reflect real availability, not a flat 8-hour assumption.
Real over-allocation detection
_committed_percent_on_period sums the capacity_percent of every confirmed/done allocation of that employee whose dates overlap, exposing overlap_percent and the is_over_allocated flag. _recompute_peers re-runs on every create/write so sibling flags stay consistent, and confirming an over-booked allocation posts an alert.
Colour-coded board and overlap drill-down
_compute_color paints each allocation red (over), yellow (90%+) or green so the kanban reads at a glance. action_view_overlaps opens exactly the confirmed allocations clashing with the selected one, so a planner sees who else holds the resource.
Bulk allocate a whole team
gb.bulk.allocation.wizard assigns many hr.employee records to one project for a window at a per-person capacity_percent, optionally auto-confirming. Tick 'skip if it would over-allocate' and it checks committed capacity per resource and posts the skipped names to the project chatter.
Rebalance an over-booked resource
gb.rebalance.wizard pulls a person back to a target_percent using two strategies: trim_latest cancels or trims the most recent allocations until the excess is gone, while scale_down proportionally shrinks every active allocation. The result is logged on the employee.
Weekly capacity board with heat
gb.capacity.week.generate_board materialises per-employee, per-week lines, pro-rating each allocation's hours into the weeks it spans via _hours_in_week. committed_percent drives a heat flag (cold/ok/hot/burn) for a list-and-pivot board spanning eight weeks ahead.
Utilisation snapshots and cron alerts
gb.capacity.snapshot.build_for_employee rolls a 28-day window into available, allocated, free hours and a utilisation status (under/healthy/full/over). The weekly cron_build_snapshots job rebuilds snapshots for actively-booked staff, while hr.employee gains current_utilisation and is_over_allocated_now fields.

Why Choose This Module
Resourcing in spreadsheets means nobody really knows who is overbooked until it's too late. This module allocates named employees to projects for a date range at a percentage of their capacity, computes utilisation from each person's working calendar, and raises over-allocation alerts when committed capacity exceeds 100% — a Community alternative to Enterprise Planning.
