Frequently Asked Questions

What IT Director KPIs are available in Workload?+

Workload offers a comprehensive set of IT Director KPIs designed to provide strategic visibility into your IT capacity and performance: capacity planning KPIs including utilization rate showing how much of your available capacity is currently allocated, overload metrics identifying team members who are over-allocated, forecast vs actual comparisons that help you understand planning accuracy and improve future forecasts, project progress indicators that show which projects are on track versus at risk, views by team that provide team-level capacity and performance metrics, portfolio-level views that aggregate data across multiple projects and teams, conflict detection metrics showing the number and severity of allocation conflicts, skill gap analysis identifying where expertise is lacking, budget utilization showing how capacity planning impacts costs, and team satisfaction indicators that help you understand workforce health. These KPIs are presented in intuitive dashboards with color coding, trend indicators, and drill-down capabilities that allow IT Directors to quickly understand their capacity status and take appropriate action. The system also supports custom KPI creation, allowing you to define metrics specific to your organization's needs.

Can I export reports for management?+

Yes, Workload provides comprehensive export capabilities that allow you to share your IT Director dashboards and reports with management committees, project committees, and other stakeholders. You can export your reports in multiple formats including PDF for formal presentations and documentation, Excel for further analysis and manipulation, and CSV for data integration with other systems. The export functionality includes all the KPIs, charts, and data visualizations from your dashboards, ensuring that stakeholders receive the same information you see in the platform. You can also customize exports to include only the specific metrics and time periods relevant to each audience, making it easy to create targeted reports for different stakeholders. The exported reports maintain professional formatting and branding, making them suitable for executive presentations and board meetings. This capability is essential for IT Directors who need to communicate capacity insights to non-technical stakeholders and justify resource needs to executive leadership.

Is data updated in real-time?+

Yes, Workload reports are automatically fed by multiple data sources and updated in near real-time to provide you with the most current view of your IT department. The system continuously pulls data from allocation changes made in the platform, timesheet integrations with tools like Jira Tempo, Azure DevOps, Toggl, and Clockify that sync automatically, project updates and status changes, and team member availability modifications. This means that when a team member logs time in your timesheet system, when you make an allocation change, or when a project status updates, these changes are reflected in your reports within minutes, giving you a near real-time view of your IT capacity landscape. The system is designed to handle high-frequency updates efficiently, using incremental synchronization and intelligent caching to ensure fast performance even with large amounts of data. This real-time capability is crucial for IT Directors who need to make quick decisions based on current capacity status and respond rapidly to changing conditions.

Is it possible to customize dashboards?+

Yes, Workload offers extensive dashboard customization options that allow you to tailor the reporting experience precisely to your needs and the needs of different audiences. You can select which KPIs to display based on what matters most to your organization, apply flexible filters by team, project, skill, scope, or time period to focus on specific areas of interest, create custom views that combine specific KPIs, filters, and visualizations in ways that make sense for your workflow, and save these views for quick access later. The system also supports role-based views, meaning different team members can see dashboards tailored to their responsibilities: IT Directors might see high-level strategic dashboards with executive KPIs, project managers might see team-focused views with detailed allocation information, and management might see simplified dashboards with key metrics and trends. This customization capability ensures that each stakeholder gets the information they need in a format that's most useful to them, improving decision-making and communication across your organization.
