Purpose
1. Automate allocation of human and material resources across ongoing and future architectural design projects for optimal utilization and conflict prevention.
2. Automatedly monitor all project phases and staff calendars to dynamically adjust availability in real-time, reducing manual scheduling errors.
3. Automate centralization of resource data from multiple sources, providing decision-makers with up-to-date, automated visual dashboards for resource projections.
4. Automate notifications to stakeholders about resource changes, minimizing project delays and supporting automated client communications.
Trigger Conditions
1. New project creation or modification in the project management tool triggers automated resource recalculation.
2. Change in team member availability (e.g., sick leave, new hire) initiates automatic reallocation.
3. Automated detection of approaching project milestones requiring resource ramp-up.
4. Automated upload of revised architectural schedules or drawings updates resource demand.
5. Automated calendar events added/edited for architects or specialists.
