Labor assignments put hours on each work package by resource, with utilization, start lag, finish lead and a work contour, then cost them through the resource's rate stack.

Other direct costs are planned by vendor, contract reference and category, and trips by traveler, purpose, origin and destination, each as dated cost events burdened through their own rate stack.

Material planning tracks quantities, unit costs, purchase order and part numbers, and delivery timing, so purchased items are visible as both cost drivers and schedule dependencies.

Rate sheets keep resource pricing in one governed place, reducing manual lookups and keeping labor and cost estimates consistent.

Working calendars define shifts, holidays and recurring exceptions so effort and duration land on real working time, and reporting calendars set the fiscal periods used for actuals and status.

Switch the time-phased chart from cost to staffing to see planned FTE against calendar capacity for one resource or the whole team, with overloads marked.

Drag, resize, cut off or realign labor assignments on the time-phased canvas, and only the assignments you changed are recalculated.

Define how hours spread across an assignment, with step, linear or smooth shaping and a live preview.

On the roadmap: labor assignments that distinguish prime from subcontract effort at the work package level, so make-or-buy staffing and its cost can be planned separately.
