Resource Guru

What do you like best?

I like the possibility to manage multiple resources at the same time. It is very useful that availability bars are showing how many hours there are left for a given resource. But my personal favorite is colors that make my schedule cheerful. It is easy to manage resources and projects with Guru. Thanks to daily emails my team is always aware of the priorities for a given day. I would recommend it to everyone in need of a simple scheduling tool - I couldn't manage my day-to-day work without it and I think no prior training is required to use it - it is just so intuitive and user-friendly.

What do you dislike?

I would like to have a possibility to add public holiday information (a note?, a yellow dot reacting to the mouse pointer, and displaying the bank holiday info? I think something like this would be extremely useful). I mean something that would be visible in the Schedule - we have many clients in different countries with different bank holidays and it would facilitate scheduling of smaller pieces of work that are not agreed on in advance. Sometimes I book first and find out/am reminded of a bank holiday later on - including such information would solve this issue.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Say Yes to Guru! ;) It is worth it.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Thanks to emails it is no longer required to remind my team what they have to do - they are reminded automatically. Also, by seeing all resources and their availability at once, I can equally distribute the workload per resource.
