Capacity Planning: How to Perform Resource Allocation

This article provides a step-by-step guide to allocating resources in AIZOPlan using Capacity Planning Studio

Overview

The Capacity Management Studio in AIZOPlan enables accurate allocation of resources by tracking both billable and non-billable efforts using point-based estimates. 

  • Allocate Non-Billable distribution
    Assign a daily portion of each resource’s capacity in points to non-billable activities such as training, internal meetings, or support.). This ensures a realistic view of actual availability.
  • Assign Billable Workload 
    Distribute billable workload in points across project workstreams during a sprint, reflecting the actual contribution of each resource.

Note : It is recommended to update resource allocations at the end of Project sprint to ensure accurate tracking and reporting.

Note :  A sprint must be open to allow allocation. Once a sprint is closed, no further updates can be made.

📌Access Resource Capacity Allocation

  • In your Program Office, click the Capacity Management Studio icon .

 

  • Select the Resource Capacity Allocation section to begin. 

 

🚀Proceed with Resource Allocation


Step1-Resource Distribution (Non Billable) :

Allocate a daily percentage of each resource’s time to non-billable activities such as Internal meetings, Support tasks, Training sessions ...

To allocate non-billable time:

  • Select the day on the calendar.
  • Click the edit icon next to the resource to enter the number of non-billable points.

Note: The total available points per resource are displayed next to their name.

  • Repeat the process for each resource as needed.
  • Click to save and proceed.

Click Next to go the the next step.

 

Step 2 – Workload Allocation (Billable)

Assign billable work effort to project workstreams during a sprint.

To allocate billable workload:

  • Select a project from the list. (1)

  • Choose the relevant sprint from the column.

  • Select the resource (2) you want to assign to a specific workstream.

  • Click the edit icon next to the resource to enter the number of points delivered (3) during the sprint.

    Note: The total number of points planned for the workstream during the sprint is displayed in the corresponding cell.

    Note : Points are allocated based on estimates defined per workstream in the Implementation Plan.

  • Repeat the process for each applicable resource.

  • Click to save and proceed.
Click Next to go the the next step.

 

Step3-Project Insights

AIZOPlan generate project-level efficiency graphs, helping visualize how actual work compares to planned workloads. 

  • Select a project from the list
  • Efficiency is calculated by comparing actual points delivered versus planned points during the sprint

Click Next to go the the next step.

Step4-Global Insights

View consolidated efficiency across all projects:

  • AIZOPlan displays aggregated data to show how actual delivery compares to planned workloads across the program

 


✅ Summary

Resource Allocation in AIZOPlan ensures accurate tracking of both billable and non-billable efforts using a point-based system. Through the Capacity Management Studio, you can:

  • Allocate daily non-billable effort for tasks like meetings, training, or support

  • Assign billable workload to project workstreams based on sprint estimates

  • Visualize project-level and global efficiency to track performance against planned work

By regularly updating allocations at the end of each sprint, teams gain precise insight into capacity utilization and resource contribution.
