Resource management - flexible time
I am hoping that there will be some increased functionality to allow flexible time to be applied much more easily.
Have to move between views to apply dates and then effort is not very user friendly.
The way we manage resourcing for our projects is to add a folder with all of the resources listed as a separate task. We then apply effort based on either a daily % of say 50% across the life of the project or 100% or whatever it is. Often though people dip in and out of projects. So we have many situations where we might have say a Domain Architect with the following:
1/7/2023 - 31/10/2023 - 50%
31/10/2023 - 30/6/2023 - 100%
It is very laborious and prone to error to have to go through week by week and adjust the dates. I feel like there must be a simpler way to do this with a date picker that allows multiple date ranges with different % of time applied
Thanks,
Rhonwyn

Rhonwyn Williams did Wrike ever get back to you about this feature? My team also runs into this problem where resources dip in and out of projects during different phases and sometimes will be allocated fully during a time frame and then only partially during a different time frame. I would love a feature that we could set date parameters and then the percentage to which that resource will be working on that project during that time.
Hi Kellie Graham, thanks a lot for sharing your feature suggestion here 👍
