Who is where, and when

One carpenter cannot be on two sites on Tuesday, and the calendar is what shows you that in advance.

In this lesson

Recurring work on a schedule

Some work repeats — the weekly site meeting, the Friday progress walk, the monthly client update. In Taskity that kind of work lives on a schedule, so it appears on its own without anyone re-creating it.

Here is the Twin Villas coordination meeting, set to recur every Sunday. It will keep showing up on the calendar for as long as the job runs, and it stops the moment the job closes.

Step the calendar forward and the cadence holds — Sunday after Sunday, exactly as planned. That predictability is what lets the team build a week around it.

The cadence in plain words

Switch to the list view and the rule is stated in a plain sentence: every week on Sunday. Anyone reading that knows when to be on site, without decoding a calendar.

Who is committed where

The resource calendar prevents the expensive mistake. Each person is shown against the project they are committed to, week by week — Tarek on the villas, Hoda buying for several jobs at once.

Its whole purpose is to stop a person being planned onto two sites on the same day. A double-booked carpenter is a site standing idle, with a crew being paid to wait for someone who never came.

Balancing the load

Resource management steps back further, to show who is carrying too much and who has room. An over-loaded engineer is the one whose work starts slipping first.

The habit worth building: before you commit a date, check the calendar. One carpenter genuinely cannot be on two sites on Tuesday — and finding that out the night before is finding it out a week too late.
