I have been asked to come up with a "people planner" to track which projects employees are on, when their project ends, and future projects/needs for these projects. I have no idea where to start. Here is a rundown of the information that I have and what I have been asked to do:
I have:
Employees (about 200)
Employee Position
Active projects (about 20-40 at any given time)
Employees assigned to each project
Project end date (when employee becomes available)
Future project and need by position
Future project start date
I need:
I need to come up with a tool to track what employees are available (by position) to be assigned to the future project (based off current project end date and start date of future project). Basically, I need a tool to be able to make sure that each employee is assigned to a future project and does not fall into 'overhead'. I want to be able to show current availability and future need of each employee/position graphically so it is easy to understand. A bonus would be if I could come up with some type of way to select a future project and populate a list of employees that will be available of each 'future project position need'. For example, if Future Project A starts on 1/1/15 and needs a project manager, I want to populate a list of project managers who will be coming off of the current projects at this time (plus or minus a month).
ANY IDEAS?!?!?!
