5 reviews for Simple Project Resource Planning Excel Template

  1. Ethan

    Switching from scattered sheets to this template was painless. Enter allocations once; the Gantt and HeatMap reflect percent loads by week. We spotted a hidden hotspot and avoided a crunch week before sprint freeze.

    • PNRao

      Thrilled it prevented a crunch, Ethan! Consider reserving a 20% buffer column for contingency work. The HeatMap still calculates totals correctly and visually warns when buffers get silently consumed mid-iteration.

  2. Marcus

    The Project Summary’s capacity versus demand tiles changed the conversation. We reassigned two deliverables, and the HeatMap instantly cooled from red to amber. No macros, no drama—just clear bandwidth signals everyone can agree on.

    • PNRao

      Fantastic result, Marcus. Add a “Critical Path” flag to tasks driving key milestones. Filtering by that flag during triage focuses limited bandwidth on work with the highest schedule impact.

  3. Grace

    Swapped in our palette, set week start to Monday, and hid weekends. The layout remained readable on projectors, and overdue allocations still popped. It now looks like an official PMO standard.

    • PNRao

      Perfect, Grace. Save this as your “PMO Master” and distribute copies per program. Maintain high contrast for overload states so visibility holds up in bright meeting rooms and screen-shares.

  4. Ella

    Recurring allocations would reduce duplication. We assign 25% to platform support every week, and copy-pasting rows invites small mistakes that ripple into misleading totals.

    • PNRao

      We hear you, Ella. A recurrence helper is under consideration. For now, duplicate a template block for each quarter, then use fill series on dates; naming consistency keeps weekly pivots clean.

  5. Frank

    Best way to export weekly staffing to PDF without tiny fonts or clipped names? Executives prefer a single page in steering packets, not multiple screenshots stitched together.

    • PNRao

      Use the “One-Page Weekly” print preset, set scaling to Fit-to-One-Page, then export to PDF. Wrap long names and keep right margins generous to prevent clipping on narrow printers.
