This type of project calendar demonstrates just how many working hours your team members and equipment are available for in a given time period.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if a worker is putting in eight hours a day and they\u2019re already spending three hours of their time behind Project A, you have five additional hours of their time to assign tasks like Project B and Project C.

Capacity for new tasks<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re using sophisticated software (such as <a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/\">ClickUp<\/a>) for creating a resource calendar, it should ideally let you know <strong>how much time, availability, team members, and resources you have to take on new projects<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re still stuck on pen and paper, use your puzzling-solving abilities to find the optimal capacity for new tasks.

Skills or specializations<\/h3>\n<p>Many companies prefer to write down a team member\u2019s skills or expertise right next to their name and role, and this is mainly because when a new project comes along, they can match the team member with the <strong>right skills for the right task<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>For example, imagine you\u2019re a digital marketing agency, and you get a new website redesign project for a real estate broker. Now, you might have plenty of content writers on the team to take on the task.<\/p>\n<p>But if you knew which writers specialize in what type of content, you\u2019d be able to match the writer whose expertise is real estate to this project.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"10-6-resource-costs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Resource costs<\/h3>\n<p>Resource costs are another great tidbit to add to your resource calendar because it lets you know <strong>how much you\u2019d be paying for a project<\/strong> considering the number of resources that went in.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping the same example as above, if you realize there are two real estate writers on the team, with one charging $40\/hour and the other charging $50, you might have to take a call as to which writer to put on the project.<\/p>\n<p>You can also <strong>add more details after this<\/strong>. For example, which payroll processing software the team member prefers, what are their payment terms, what hours and time zones they work from, etc.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"11-how-to-create-a-resource-calendar-with-resource-calendar-software\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Create a Resource Calendar (With Resource Calendar Software)<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s get you started on creating your very own resource calendar!<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"12-1-gather-all-your-resource-details\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
