Creating a workload overview for a small workgroup

Hi Magnus and thanks for your reply!

I checked out your post on MS Teams and played around a little bit with it. By adding a "Projekt overview and workload"channel with a planner tab I pretty much got what I was looking for. Very easy to use, very nice visualization in the report-view. I created a bucket for every project our group is working on and now my co-workers can do their planning there, automatically sharing it with each other and our manager. The benefit is that we now can take initiative and help each other out when we see a task that we know we can contribute to (our group is spread out over all of Sweden, so we do not share a physical workspace).

Even if there is no direct connection to a workload in percentage I prefer the Teams-planner approach. I think that demand was a little bit stiff to begin with. Everything is in constant motion and you need to be able to adapt to that. The specific tasks that you can create in the planner are better suited to reality in my opinion as you simply can change their deadlines and working-status when more important stuff comes upp.

I am gonna check out your Teams-post in detail now - we are rolling out the app after the summer vacations.

Thanks for sharing!
