Resource Planning and PSA
Resource planning software has to agree with two things at once: the plan and the timesheet. We look at how each tool models capacity, how it handles part-time and shared people, and how far it goes toward full PSA with margins and invoicing. Setup effort is called out, because it is usually the real cost.
