Top Questions About Team Planning Software

SOME OF THE TOP QUESTIONS WE ARE OFTEN ASKED

What is the best software for planning teams?
The first step is to understand your requirements and the core features you need for a team planning tool.

There are 3 main levels of software used for team planning:
- 1 - Spreadsheets and calendars
  Great for a simple schedule for a limited number of employees. These tools where not specifically designed for team scheduling but are great when there is only a basic need to for a simple fixed plan.
- 2 - Dedicated team planning software
  These are made specifically to help you schedule multiple types of resources including employees. Additional resources can also be scheduled like rooms, equipment and event clients.
  
  They should include critical features like drag and drop, multi-user access, double booking prevention, skills tracking, reporting and integrations, all aimed at making scheduling quicker and easer.
- 3 - Enterprise resource planning
  ERP software is made to cover not just your scheduling needs but can also include inventory and order management, accounting, sales and human resources management.
Understanding the correct product level you are considering will help you narrow your search choice and the number of products you will need to consider.

It's often best to be focused and choose a product that fits the problem you are trying to resolve as this can have many benefits. Trying to make a product fit that is too simple, or introducing an overly complex solution, only adds to the initial problem rather than helping to resolve it.

The good news is you can try almost all these solutions free to see which suits your needs.
How much does planning software cost?

Most scheduling software charges by the number of users using the software, by the number of employees you want to schedule, or a mixture of both. Consider how many users might want to use the software, or the number of resources you need to plan, and if your needs may grow over time.

The great situation is you can try most scheduling products free, and you should. Investing a few minutes with hands on testing of your top 3 will reward you with hours of savings in the future.

You may already have products like Excel that you can test as a scheduling alternative, but a dedicate paid solution that saves you time almost always pay for themselves with a few weeks of use.
How do you schedule an employee?

In almost all planning and scheduling software, an employee is just another resource like rooms or equipment.

Using a graphical scheduling tool, once you have added your employee/resource, they appear as a new row in your schedule and you can simply click onto their schedule to plan and book their work.

Key considerations might be their availability or skills you need for the work you are planning. Choosing the correct software can help you with this with warnings or automation.

Ideally having a tool that offers drag and drop allows you to very quickly change your schedule or move bookings to other employees.

Above all, the booking and scheduling of your employees should be quick and easy in the right tool.
Why is team planning software important?

Scheduling software is important as they are designed to allow you to plan your employees in minutes whilst preventing you from making planning errors.

A dedicate scheduling tool that guides you in choosing the best employee, that is available, has the correct skills you need, and prevents you from double booking, can save you hours of time and rescheduling.

Having an interface that is designed to help you see all your schedules clearly, and if needed quickly drag and drop to make changes, can be a great boost to productivity.

Additional requirements after your initial planning might be the ability to share schedules, create reports and time-sheets, and integrate your schedules with other tools.

These are a few reasons why scheduling software is important as it is specifically designed to help any business to streamline, improving productivity and efficiency.
