Product Description

Resource Guru is scheduling and resource management software that helps busy teams keep projects on track.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Too often productivity tools are focused on tasks and not the people completing them. Resource Guru is the only resource management software that puts people first.

We give project managers and planners a clear understanding of who’s available and when – factoring in time off, individual working hours, competing workloads, external calendar events, and more. Our unique clash management system actively prevents double bookings and overtime, so employee workloads stay manageable, teams stay motivated, and projects stay on track. When the week is up, you can compare forecast hours to actuals using refreshingly quick-to-complete timesheets.

Resource Guru is also the only resource management software that lets you schedule people, equipment, and meeting rooms, all in one place. That means you can book everything you need for a project, in one simple drag-and-drop interface.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi Alex,

Thanks for leaving your review on Resource Guru! I'd like to share your feedback on our font sizes with the team here; please can you tell me where the font appears to be too small, what your screen size/resolution is, and what browser zoom setting you're on? If you'd like to drop us an email with the details to happytohelp@resourceguruapp.com, we'll look into this to see if there's anything we can improve.

Thanks!

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

Resource Guru was the visual management tool we needed to understand what projects our team members were allocated to and for how long.

My favorite part about it is that is designed to work the way the real world works - people are allocated a certain % of time over a certain duration. If an end date changes, simply drag the end of the project bar to the new end date. Other tools made us update hours estimates in order to change end dates, which was a lot of useless busy work.

I also like the way projects can easily be color coded and filtered by color for easy categorization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

The team at Resource Guru has intentionally kept it simple and basic, and have designed it very well.

I occasionally wish there were features such as actual time tracking. There's no status mechanism and no linkage or tracking of granular tasks or activities, so we use a different tool for that. This requires double entry, and every new project needs to be entered in two places. However, every organization does those tasks so differently that I worry if Resource Guru implemented them it might be done in an opinionated way that isn't how I operate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Resource Guru:

Try it! It's simple to set up and get running, and perfect to keep high-level track of what projects and clients your team is working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Resource Guru solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our projects last 2-12 weeks, and most team members have multiple overlapping projects at any given time. The team had grown to a size where it was no longer possible to keep track of that mentally.

Each time a new request for a project came to us, we struggled to know if we should say yes or no. Resource Guru solved that problem for us by offering a visual schedule for us. This tool has given us confidence to quickly make decisions about new projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi Chris

Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru :) I wanted to let you know that an undo button is very firmly on our roadmap for the future. When it comes to "Apply to all", I wonder if you could give me a few more details of which elements you'd like to make bulk changes to? For example, are you looking to create and edit bookings for multiple resources at once? If so, I'm pleased to say we'll be releasing this functionality soon!

If you'd like to share a few more details about what you'd like to do in the app, we'd love to hear from you :) You can reach us on happytohelp@resourceguruapp.com. We always take customer feedback into consideration.

Thanks, and happy scheduling!

Resource Guru ensures that no project is overlooked or over-resourced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi there

Thanks for sharing your feedback :)

We do have plans to let you reorder your resources in future, but I'm afraid I can't give you an accurate release date for this just yet. In the meantime there are a couple of options. You can use custom fields and filters to display only the resources you're interested in. This is great if you want to focus in on specific teams, for example. You can read more about using custom fields here https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942058-using-custom-fields-to-categorize-resources-by-skills-department-and-more And learn about filtering resources here https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942088-filtering-resources

I hope this helps, but please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. I'm always happy to help!

Thanks,

Michelle
