Capacity Planner Assistant is a Rovo agent that provides a conversational AI interface for Capacity Planner. It allows resource managers and project managers to ask natural-language questions about team capacity, resource availability, and delivery risk using live data.

Instead of manually navigating through plans and reports, you can get immediate answers scoped to specific teams, including insights that combine planned data with logged hours from Tempo Timesheets (if installed).

What can you do with Capacity Planner Assistant?

  • Check Capacity & Availability: Quickly find out who has unallocated time or who is overbooked.

  • Identify Risks: Get on-demand signals for tasks at risk of missing estimates or projects with significant drift.

  • Skill-based Matching: Find the best available resource for a task based on specific skills.

  • Actuals-Aware Insights: Compare planned vs. actual hours to identify gaps from previous periods.

  • Plan Time: Create plans for users on specific tasks directly through the chat interface.

  • Deep-Link to Action: Every response includes a link to the relevant Capacity Planner view so you can take immediate action.
