Which tool is used to determine why a resource is overallocated in Workfront?

Question

Options

• ATask report
• BResource grid
• CCapacity planner
• DTime tracking log

• A
  21% (4)
• B
  5% (1)
• C
  68% (13)
• D
  5% (1)

Explanation

Capacity Planner (C) is correct because it provides a visual breakdown of a user's allocated hours versus available hours across projects, making it the dedicated tool for diagnosing why a resource is overallocated - showing which specific assignments are contributing to the overload.

• Task report (A) lists task data but doesn't aggregate resource allocation in a way that reveals overallocation causes.
• Resource grid (B) shows high-level allocation summaries but lacks the diagnostic depth to explain the source of overallocation.
• Time tracking log (D) records actual hours logged, not planned/scheduled allocation, so it can't explain future or current overallocation.

Memory tip: Think "Capacity Planner = capacity problem solver" - just as a capacity planner in real life figures out why a team is overbooked, Workfront's Capacity Planner pinpoints the root cause of resource overallocation.
