Effort Allocation Per Project

I would love to be able to allocate effort to a Project. Time tracked within that project could be reported against the overall Project Budget. The main goal is to clearly see how we are doing on all of our projects and on a high level see who can take on another Project in the Workload view. This could be graphically illustrated with a progress bar near the Project name in the Table view. This could then be graphically compared in a nice report against, time tracked, task effort allocated, etc.

Hi Andre Herrero, thank you for posting your suggestion, it really comes at the perfect time! 🙂

Allocating effort to projects has just become available with the two Wrike Labs releases: Resources view and Bookings. Please find more info here and let me know if it helps 👍

Lisa very cool. What I'm thinking of is a quick functionality for keeping projects on a time budget. Please see the attached screenshot. If I could assign a blanket effort to a Project. Then as we log time to it we could quickly see if we are running over or under. This effort allocation is more big picture for keeping a project in check. I still would like to individually track task efforts as well for smaller-scale planning, I think they need to exist in tandem.

Hi! Would love to know if there's been an update on this feature? Echoing Andre's sentiment -- it would be cool to have effort allocation for each project. A pie chart would be so handy!

Hi Charisse del Castillo, thanks for reaching out, and welcome to the Community! 🙂
 
To achieve effort allocation at the project level, you might consider using our Bookings feature. This feature allows for effort to be allocated at the project level. Each assignee in a project (whether assigned directly to the project or to tasks within it) can have one booking per project. Here’s a Help Center article with more details on this. Please let us know if this was helpful! Thanks.
