Agency Staffing 15 Projects

Kevin, Operations Director
The Challenge

Kevin's agency had 8 specialists across 15 projects. Resource allocation was done in spreadsheets updated (poorly) weekly. Conflicts emerged constantly.

The Solution

Asrify shows who's on which project. Time reports reveal utilization. Calendar events show deadlines. Kevin sees the full picture in one dashboard.

The Outcome

Resource conflicts dropped 80%. Utilization became balanced. Kevin allocates new projects in minutes instead of hours of coordination.

"I can finally answer 'who has capacity?' without asking everyone."
Deep Dive

The Hidden Cost of Poor Resource Allocation

Utilization rate is the key profitability lever in service businesses, but the naive approach—maximizing utilization for everyone—backfires. Different roles have different optimal utilization. Account managers need buffer for client responsiveness. Specialists can sustain higher utilization. Senior team members need time for mentoring and business development. One-size-fits-all targets create hidden costs.

Resource planning visibility prevents the common failure mode where star performers get overloaded while others are underutilized. Without data, managers assign work to whoever seems available or whoever they think of first—which usually means the same reliable people. Over time, this creates burnout risk for high performers and growth stagnation for others. Fair distribution requires seeing the full picture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Utilization reports show each person's tracked hours vs their capacity. Calendar views show scheduled commitments. Together, you see availability clearly.

Calendar events can be scheduled into the future. Assign people to project phases before work begins.

Resource planning focuses on people and their allocation across projects, not task dependencies within a project. Use both views for complete planning.

Compare tracked hours against expected capacity. Part-time team members can be measured against their specific availability.
