5 Reasons Why the Top Teams Choose Float for Their Resource Management

For my next “5 Reasons Why…” installment, I am presenting to you Float – the #1 rated tool for resource management on G2. With Float, you can directly integrate with your project management tools like Jira, Asana, WorkflowMax, Trello, QuickBooks, and more. Let’s consider my 5 reasons why…

1.It’s easy-to-use with powerful scheduling capabilities

Scheduling in Float is fast and intuitive. Click anywhere on your schedule to start creating and assigning tasks in seconds. Add repeating tasks and assign them to multiple people in just a few clicks. Make changes fast with a right-click menu and keyboard shortcuts. Integrate with your existing project management tools like Asana, Jira, Teamwork, and more to sync your projects between both.

 2. Get a high-level and accurate view of your team’s capacity

Float makes capacity planning a breeze. Set custom work hours at a team and individual level, import and assign public holidays, schedule time off, and set a status to let your team know where you’re working from (e.g., the beach house or the living room!). Float also, integrates Google and Outlook Calendar, so you can sync events directly to your resource schedule, and/or send Float tasks back to your calendar tool.

3. Create project phases and plan project timelines

Float’s project planning features help you set up your team for success. Plan with precision by breaking down bigger projects into smaller parts with phases. Set a budget for the total project or a phase, and monitor spend in real-time. Add project milestones to keep your team on track, and link tasks together to visualize dependencies and shift timelines quickly.
