Late projects often have a hidden cause: someone was booked for three jobs at once, or the skill the work needed was never on the plan. This template shows who is needed, when and for how long, compares demand with available capacity, and surfaces skills gaps and conflicts early enough to hire, borrow or re-plan. It covers roles, allocation, skills, requests and clashes in five pages, plus a status view.

The sample is for the fictional Hartwell Works, a 14-week rollout with a $635k budget, $603k spent to date, 84% utilization and one overloaded project manager in March. Replace the roles, people and figures with your own, allocate using realistic availability rather than contract hours, and name who approves each resource request.
