Who will be overloaded in three months?

MARCEL answers on one screen: the teams × months cross-view projects workload over 3 to 12 months, timesheets feed the actuals, and contracts warn you before they expire.

The cross-view that anticipates overloads

A teams × months matrix, coloured by utilisation rate, with the portfolio total row. Click a cell: you land on the team's detail for that month. Export to Excel for your committees.

  • Adjustable horizon — 3, 6, 9 or 12 months; summary badge of overloaded team-months.
  • Clickable cells — from detected overload to the team's allocations, in one click.
  • Excel export of the matrix — cells coloured by utilisation, portfolio total, committee-ready.
  • Configurable thresholds — set your own amber and red alert levels.
03.2

A repository that knows your contracts

Roles, day rates, capacity, entry date, contract reference and expiry: every resource — internal or external — is documented. Expiry dates trigger automatic email alerts at D-90, D-60, D-30 and D-7.

  • Complete resource record — per-project allocations, monthly workload timeline vs capacity, utilisation rate.
  • Contract alerts D-90/60/30/7 — resources and vendors: never again a renewal discovered too late.
  • Vendors & day rates — time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts, contractual vs invoiced rates, variance alerts.
03.3

Timesheets that feed the steering

Weekly time entry per project directly feeds budgets (consumed) and capacity (actual vs allocated). Two- or three-level validation workflows guarantee reliable numbers.

  • Simple entry, robust validation — PM then PMO workflow, configurable deadlines, reminders.
  • Leaves built in — absences automatically reduce planned capacity.
  • Automatic consolidation — every logged day flows into budget consumption and actual workload.
