Color logic as a legend
J
Jan Holländer
In the overviews of (new) deployment planning (e.g. projects/employee deployment plan), the workload of the MA is displayed using a color code.
This is even more important with the new EPL, as the planned capacity is shown here in FTE. Here, even 0.5 FTE for a part-time person can mean 100% utilization.
projo colors a load of 100% as green.
Omissions below 100% remain green but become brighter/less saturated.
Low utilization above 100% is colored yellow.
Size replans red. Very large dark red.
We have the following comments about this:
• Legend
Introduction of a legend on all pages in which projo uses colored backgrounds to transport information
• Tolerance
(maybe adjustable) when Projo changes the color from green (100% planned) to yellow. (It seems that this is already happening at 100.01% in the new EP. In sharpness, however, Projo cannot automatically adjust deployment planning at all and even manual adjustment will hardly be successful with performance-specific planning)
• Color/color spectrum.
This may be a very personal perception, but planned workloads of 90%-100% are unproblematical in my opinion/can happen. However, lower workloads (certainly below 75%) are problematic. I personally find blue colors quite appropriate there (air...;))
