Personnel Planning

For a company selling large projects involving a great number of project members with different roles, it is important to be able to plan how many people are needed at which time. This is, of course, not about the number of individuals; we do the analysis in FTEs (full-time equivalents) instead. (Besides, needing 2.5 FTEs sounds a lot better than needing 2.5 people, right?)

This chapter discusses an example of personnel planning for a project-based business. As you will see, only a few DAX measures are needed to compute the global need for personnel. The main complexity is in the large number of context transformations occurring during the calculation.

This chapter covers the following topics:

  • The Power BI model for personnel planning
  • Calculating sales, both order intake and projected sales over time
  • Calculating FTEs needed for projects sold
  • Optimizing the Power BI model
  • Considering aggregation levels
