Smart Assignment Redistribution

#hive

In the current landscape of Hive for project management and resourcing tools, there's a noticeable gap when managing time offs and task assignments. When Hive users add a Time Off event, the system doesn't adjust scheduled assignments accordingly. This situation creates a burden as the previously set assignment times simply pile onto the non-Time Off days without any redistribution, potentially leading to unbalanced workloads and inefficient resource planning. This could increase stress among team members and complicate project timelines, particularly affecting project managers who must manually reassign tasks to ensure continual progress and maintain work-life balance.

🗒️ Feature Requests

  • Configurable Settings:
    Provide settings within the extension allowing teams to define how times should be redistributed - options might include evenly over available days, or front- or back-loading work around the Time Off.
  • Notifications and Alerts:
    Incorporate a feature to send alerts to project managers and team members about the redistribution of tasks, enhancing transparency and preparation for upcoming workloads.
  • Automatic Time Adjustment:
    The extension should automatically adjust allocated times for tasks overlapping with Time Off days. For example, if a task is set for a week but the user takes two days off within that week, the assigned work hours should be evenly redistributed over the remaining days.
  • Integration with Existing Calendars:
    Ensure the extension can integrate with pre-set Hive calendars for holidays and weekends, as noted by users, streamlining setup and deployment across projects.
