Resource Guru is being used across departments in my company. It is used to manage communication, deadlines, and working hours between the software developers, testers, and product managers. It allows a cross functional team to work between countries and time zones, which would be much more difficult without this tracking system. It is particularly helpful for the project management team!
  • Task tracking: allows user to input tasks which may be marked off as finished by other members of the team.
  • Time tracking: allows users to log the amount of time spent on particular tasks.
  • Cross team management: allows users from different locations and time zones to view the same page and relevant tasks.
  • It isn't quite as user-friendly as I would like. Once you are accustomed to it, it is very useful, but the initial use could be facilitated.
  • One user-friendly calendar interface that displays tasks and deadlines would be nice.
  • A real-time time logging button would be nice, rather than entering hours retroactively.
It is very well suited when different branches of the company reside in different countries or time zones. It allows the project manager to efficiently keep track of the progress of their team members. It reduces the need for intensive calls where the manager asks for an extensive check in and update from each individual person. It also allows the project manager to update tasks and timelines as needed.

About Resource Guru

Resource Guru is a resource scheduling solution. The solution is based around a central bookings calendar that gives users a high-level visibility of their resources and is designed to make resource planning simple.The vendor says that its drag and drop interface makes creating, editing, and moving bookings a breeze, and that the advanced clash management system prevents over-bookings and helps users stay in control.

Additionally, the vendor says that the personal dashboards are an easy way for people to quickly log in and know exactly what they should be working on for the week. The reports enable users to monitor utilization rates and plan capacity.
