Explore the Resources of the Schedule

The Resources tab displays how resources are employed over the time of your project. Often times, resources are the different departments working on your project, but it doesn't have to.

The Resources tab offers you insights into the evolution resources use over the course of your project, when the Schedule tab and its Gantt chart show the relationships between tasks.

Open the Resources tab to understand how your project's resources usage evolves over time. You can also use the Resources tab to shape how the resources are used over time using Resource Shaping.
