Idea
The situation at the moment is that, the company relies on excell sheets to forecast consultants workload; which has many usability problems and its also prone to errors. The idea of the workload forecast system is to address the usability issues by implementing user friendly system which allow Capgemini employees to forecast their workload efficiently.
Goal of the System
- Automate workload forecasting
- Easy to use
- Estensible solution
