Kanban Board: Workforce Planning (Excel XLSX)

A Kanban Board is a Lean & Agile Project Management tool used to implement Kanban to manage work at a personal or organizational level.

Kanban Boards visually depict work at various stages of a process using cards to represent work items and columns to represent each stage of the process. Cards are moved from left to right to show progress and to help coordinate teams performing the work. A Kanban Board may be divided into horizontal "swimlanes" representing different kinds of work or different teams performing the work.

With this Workplace Planning Kanban, you can make sure you have a Capacity and Resource Program Manager that is responsible for the workforce management team and systems, staff modeling and capacity planning, and contact/workload forecasting with the goal of meeting business service levels in supported departments without exceeding (or falling short of) staffing requirements, making use of analysis and by providing data-driven hiring recommendations to meet staffing needs over time. .

This Kanban offers the following benefits:

•  Develop a more data informed, forward looking and strategically aligned approach to workforce planning, capable of dealing with the demands of a fast shifting marketplace.
•  Apply workforce data to make an impact.
•  Work with business partners to bring together other businesses and/or workforce partners in a collaborative approach to meeting shared needs.
