Transparency is the key to truly understanding projects, teams, and roles — not just retrospectively, but proactively. Those who have clear visibility into their resources can take action before bottlenecks appear. Management can act instead of react.
In practice, this means bringing together different perspectives. A Project Manager needs a clear overview of ongoing projects and requested resources. Team Leads must understand their team’s utilisation levels to prevent both overload and idle time. Employees want to see how their planned holidays, training sessions, and project assignments fit into the bigger picture. And departments like Works Council, Controlling, Finance, or HR rely on trustworthy data to perform their roles and make decisions based on a shared foundation.
With Uffective, all of this comes together in a single source of truth: all relevant data on projects, roles, resources, actuals and plans are integrated in one tool. Instead of countless spreadsheets and isolated updates, there is now a shared view for all stakeholders — across short-, mid-, and long-term horizons.
Transparency, however, is more than visibility. It creates interaction and communication. Project and Team Leads can directly see in Uffective which requests have been submitted or approved, which capacities are booked, and where potential bottlenecks might occur. With heatmaps, drilldowns, and quick checks, interdependencies become intuitive — without scrolling through endless tables.
Complementing this, the Power BI Resource Dashboard adds an analytical perspective: users can dynamically filter and explore data by project, role, timeframe, or organisational unit to spot trends early. In combination with Uffective, it provides real-time insight and extends operational transparency with a strategic, portfolio-wide view.
Employees also benefit: they can plan their own capacity and absences, understand their role’s contribution within the team context, and see where they stand in the organisation.
Ultimately, transparency becomes a competitive advantage — because everyone acts on the same foundation, sees the same data, and pursues the same goals. “I can see clearly now” – and that’s the foundation of successful resource planning.
