Deltek People Planner

Optimize More ý Optimize Resources and Pipeline Capacity

Deltek People Planner, fully integrated to Deltek Maconomy, bridges the common gap between project planning and resourcing planning within Professional Services Organizations. People Planner delivers accurate, achievable plans that consider and balance project budgets, internal and external resource needs, time frames, and available capacity.

Business Process Description

People Planner enables Resource Managers to optimize resource planning and resource scheduling using a real-time overview of availability when creating plans. This ensures that you will increase profitability and utilization and get full insight into what people are working on at all times.

Project Managers can plan, manage and follow up on projects with simple or complex structures and assign people to tasks based on their availability and skills to ensure improved planning accuracy, billing and profitability.

Easy to use, comprehensive scheduling functionality allows both Resource Managers and Employees to make appointments for themselves and others in a web-based interface. Integration to Microsoft Outlook avoids the need for having two planning systems, and resource plans are directly available to your employees in the calendars that they already use each day.

Product Features:

• Simple, easy to use graphical interface
• Drag and drop configuration and flexible setup
• Live data and resource plans in a single view
• Automatic synchronization of planned tasks appearing in timesheets
• Straightforward project progress tracking based on actual data and future plans
