1. Give projects an Estimated hours value

   Open a project, then Hours. This is optional, and projects without an estimate are listed under “Not in the plan yet”.

2. Set Hours per week for each person

   See Set hourly rates and weekly capacity.

3. Open Time, then Workload
4. Use Earlier, This week and Later

   Each column is a week. A person’s box shows planned hours, a Has room or Over capacity tag and a bar. Hours already logged appear under it.

How the numbers are worked out#

Each open project’s remaining hours (its estimate minus time already logged on it) are spread evenly over the weekdays from today, or from its start date if that is later, to its due date. A project past its due date counts against this week. Hours are placed on the person assigned to the project.
