The capacity view in Rillsoft Project 9 shows the percentage share of every professional qualification in resource utilization. This reveals which roles actually load the project portfolio and where the resource pool is structurally under- or over-dimensioned.

What is the percentage by professional role?

The percentage is a quantitative evaluation of skill-based capacity planning. From version 9 onwards, Rillsoft Project distinguishes two views:

  • Percentage per role – utilization of a single qualification against the resources available with that qualification
  • Percentage of all roles – structural distribution of qualifications across the entire resource pool

New calculation algorithm in Rillsoft Project 9

ViewFormulaStatement
Percentage per role(required resources of a qualification / available resources of that qualification) × 100Utilization of the single qualification
Percentage of all roles(resources with a qualification / total resources) × 100Distribution of qualifications in the pool

Existing skills and competences are first analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Utilization per role is then evaluated on top of that analysis.

Why the view by qualification is decisive

Excessive utilization of a single role is a bottleneck, even if the overall resource pool still shows reserves. With the percentage per role this bottleneck is visible early in the planning process – before specific employees are assigned. That keeps long-term capacity planning reliable.

The results provide a deeper view of how the distribution of qualifications affects project success and provide a solid basis for recruiting and training decisions.

Frequently asked questions(FAQ)

The percentage shows the share of a professional qualification in resource utilization. Rillsoft Project 9 provides two views: the share per role (demand against available resources with that qualification) and the share of all roles across the entire resource pool.

The number of resources required for a qualification is divided by the number of available resources with that qualification and multiplied by 100. This yields a precise utilization value per professional role – also across projects.

The number of resources with a specific professional role is divided by the total number of all resources and multiplied by 100. This reveals the structural distribution of qualifications in the resource pool.

Through Rillsoft Project 8, the percentage view was less differentiated. From version 9 onwards, Rillsoft Project clearly separates utilization per single qualification and distribution across the entire resource pool – both values are readable directly in the capacity view.

It reveals bottlenecks in individual roles before they become project risks. Workforce development, recruiting and training priorities can be set based on data – for example when one qualification is constantly utilized above 100 %.
