ABSTRACT:
A system and method for integrated resource and project planning are provided. A system for project forecast and resource forecast management integration includes a web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) including an input component and a display component; wherein the input component receives project inputs relating to approved projects and proposed projects and further receives resource inputs relating to actual resources and placeholder resources. The system also includes a generation/analysis component that, based on the received inputs, generates a resource forecast of actual resources and placeholder resources, and generates a project forecast of approved projects and proposed projects. The system also includes a reporting component that generates a report on the resource forecast and the project forecast for display in the display component of the GUI; the reporting component generating the report for at least one of a resource level, a role level, and a project level.
