It enables managers to monitor, organize, and optimize workforce allocation across multiple projects efficiently. By combining the structured workflow of a Project Template with the strategic oversight of a Manager View, this solution supports data-driven decision-making and enhances team productivity.

Sheets in the Template

The template includes five core sheets, each serving a distinct purpose:

1. Employee Overview: Central hub displaying all employee details, roles, availability, and performance metrics.
2. Project Assignments: Tracks which employees are assigned to which projects with start/end dates and status.
3. Performance Dashboard: Visual summary of employee performance trends using charts and KPIs.
4. Resource Allocation Matrix: Shows workload distribution across projects, highlighting over- or under-utilization.
5. Data Validation & Reference: Contains lookup tables for roles, statuses, departments, and project types.

Table Structures and Columns (with Data Types)

Sheet: Employee Overview

Sheet: Project Assignments

Formulas Required

The template leverages dynamic formulas for real-time updates and analysis:

• Availability Calculation (Employee Overview):
  

  =IF(OR(ISBLANK([@Start Date]), ISBLANK([@End Date])), 100, 
          ROUND((35 - SUMIFS(ProjectAssignments[Hours per Week], ProjectAssignments[Employee ID], [@Employee ID])) / 35 * 100, 2))

• Active Projects Count (Employee Overview):
  

  =COUNTIFS(ProjectAssignments[Employee ID], [@Employee ID], ProjectAssignments[Status], "Active")

• Project Duration (Project Assignments):
  

  =IF(ISBLANK([@End Date]), DATEDIF([@Start Date], TODAY(), "D"), DATEDIF([@Start Date], [@End Date], "D"))

• Workload Indicator (Resource Allocation Matrix):
  

  =SUMIFS(ProjectAssignments[Hours per Week], ProjectAssignments[Project Code], [@Project Code]) / 35

  *(This calculates percentage of full-time equivalent workloads per project)*

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Overloaded Employees (Employee Overview): Highlight cells where Availability (%) < 30%. Color: Red.
• Pending Reviews: If the date in "Last Review Date" is older than 12 months, apply yellow fill.
• Status Colors (Project Assignments): Color-code status: Green for Active, Gray for On Hold, Red for Cancelled.
• Performance Score: Use data bars from 1 to 5: green (4–5), yellow (3), red (<3).
