When you switch to a new view in the Resources module, new coloring rules are applied to help you more easily track the over-allocation and under-allocation of resources.

Coloring

The tile colors indicate whether resources are over-allocated or under-allocated. The new view in the Resources module introduces updated coloring rules, where each tile color corresponds to a specific level of resource utilization.

Utilization calculation

workload based on task information:
- original estimate
- story points
capacity (one of the two kinds of capacity is used for the calculation)
- team-based capacity - capacity based on individual memberships in teams
- Total capacity - capacity based on workload plans, holiday plans, and absences

Individuals, projects, and skills

green - utilization under 100%
red - utilization is above 100%

Note: yellow is NOT used to indicate approaching over-allocation.

Example: if a person has been assigned 7.8h of workload and their capacity is 8h, the grid cell is green

Teams

green - 0% to 80% utilization
yellow - 80 to 101% utilization
red - 101% or higher utilization

Example:

Old (default) coloring
