Timekeeping, resource planning, plan time versus log time in Tempo

[Jo]

I'm looking to learn how it would be best to do resource planning / management company wide. it was decided we'll use tempo timesheets for timekeeping purposes, but I am also trying to learn how to create an overview of what the staff is assigned on ( projects, support issues, etc ). How do you do that? Is it an option to "plan" the people in tempo for various tasks ( i.e. project A for 30 days in month 9, 10 days in month 2 and so on )? What would be the best way a resource manager type of person should follow to create a clear overview of people's assingments ( to an extent that it would show if people are over/under booked ?

You can create reports in JIRA by filtering In Progress status per assignee as well as the original estimate and logged hours per project. In other words, I would create gadgets per each assignee who started a work by also monitoring logged hours. Tempo adds a lot of functionality with gadgets in JIRA as well. If you search tempo gadgets, you should find a lot of gadgets that might come handy for your purposes. We use Tempo, too. Hope that helps.
