## How to choose resource planning software

1. Decide if you need itSmall teams (under 20 people) often run resource planning in spreadsheets or in their PM tool. Dedicated resource planning earns value at 20+ billable people across multiple concurrent projects.
2. Agency vs internal teamsAgency / services firms (utilization, billable hours): Float, Resource Guru, Runn. Internal product/IT teams (capacity, priorities): Mosaic, Tempus Resource. Same problem, different lenses.
3. Plan for the data feedResource plans only work if they reflect actual project workload. Tools that integrate with PM tools (Jira, Asana, Monday) and time tracking deliver accurate capacity views; standalone planning drifts from reality fast.
