Which metric in Workfront Resource Management provides visibility into team utilization?

Question

Options

• APlanned variance
• BAllocation percentage
• CTask duration
• DEstimated completion date

• A
  19% (5)
• B
  69% (18)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  8% (2)

Explanation

Allocation percentage is the correct metric because it directly shows what portion of a resource's available capacity is assigned to work - giving managers a clear picture of whether team members are over-allocated, under-utilized, or balanced. Planned variance (A) measures the difference between planned and actual work, relating to schedule/cost tracking rather than utilization. Task duration (C) is simply a time estimate for a task and says nothing about how loaded a person is. Estimated completion date (D) predicts when work will finish, not how much of someone's capacity is consumed.

Memory tip: Think of "allocation percentage" like a battery indicator for your team - it shows how "charged up" (utilized) each person is, from 0% (idle) to 100%+ (overloaded).
