Project Brief
In this Power BI case study, the client required a report to analyze the capacity of outsourced resources and their work allocation within an organization. The objective was to provide insights into resource utilization, identify potential bottlenecks, and ensure efficient allocation of work to the outsourced resources.
Solution Delivered
We conducted thorough discovery sessions to evaluate and confirm the client’s requirements. The dataset used in this case study includes the following key tables:
Resource Master - This table included the details of all outsourced resources, such as resource ID, name, department, and contact information.
Resource Capacity - This table tracked the capacity of each resource, including the number of hours available per week and the start and end dates of their contract.
Work Allocation - This table incorporated information about the tasks assigned to each resource, including the task ID, task name, start date, end date, and the number of hours allocated to each task.
Resource Capacity Planning - Implemented a drill-through feature to enable users to click on a specific resource to view more detailed information about their capacity and allocated tasks.
