Questions about Dev Workload
Everything you need to know
Who can access Dev Workload?
Only Agency Owners and Managers can access Dev Workload. Developers and Clients do not have access—this is a management tool for balancing team capacity.
How is capacity calculated?
Weekly capacity (default 40h) multiplied by weeks in selected period, minus vacation days (8h per day). If someone has 40h/week capacity and 5 vacation days in a 4-week period, their capacity is 120h, not 160h.
What do the status colors mean?
Green (OK): Under 100% capacity. Yellow (Warning): 100-120% capacity—approaching overload. Red (Critical): Over 120% capacity—immediate attention needed.
Can I set different hourly rates per developer?
Yes. Each developer can have a custom hourly rate that overrides the project default. You can add justification (e.g., 'Senior developer') for audit purposes.
What happens when I drag a task?
The task is reassigned immediately. Capacity percentages and costs update in real-time. The change is logged in task history.
Does vacation automatically reduce capacity?
Yes. When you set a vacation period for a developer, their available capacity for that period is automatically reduced. No manual math needed.
