Explain Project health

What buyers are looking for
Looking for project health forecasting and capacity planning software?
Project health and capacity planning software should answer two connected questions: what needs attention in the live portfolio, and what will happen if likely work is won? JobCue provides explainable warnings and probability-weighted scenario planning without changing operational Jobs.
Surface early warnings
Highlight overdue actions, approaching delivery dates, incomplete Job data, resource pressure and enabled-module signals before they become surprises.
Create named scenarios
Build a base case, likely-wins view, seasonal peak or growth plan with its own dates, assumptions and probability choices.
Combine confirmed and likely work
Include live Jobs, quote-stage opportunities and manually entered potential work while keeping every source record unchanged.
Model role capacity
Set headcount, weekly hours and a safe utilisation target for each team or role, then compare demand across a weekly or monthly heatmap.
Plan the response
Identify periods that may need freelancers, subcontractors, internal reallocation or equipment sub-hire before accepting the work.
Compare outcomes and variance
Review scenarios side by side, include equipment pressure and commercial forecasts, then compare planned assumptions with the outcome as work becomes real.

3 industriesWhy JobCue
A sales forecast is incomplete until somebody tests whether delivery can absorb it.
JobCue connects forward-looking assumptions to the Jobs and workload already recorded, while preserving a strict boundary between planning and live operations. Health and scenario outputs support human decisions; they never silently rewrite a Job, allocation or commercial record.
✓One paid module for Project Health, forecasting and scenario planning
✓Useful with core Jobs and manual capacity alone
✓Progressively enriched by CRM, Resource Planning, Inventory and Accounts
✓No dependency imposed on any other JobCue module
Connected by design
Optional modules extend JobCue without becoming accidental dependencies for unrelated workflows.
Connected without duplicate updates
Let Planning Intelligence inform the rest of the Job.
When an event in Planning Intelligence matters to delivery, a permission-controlled automation rule can update a related task or programme item. The same organisation, Job and Project context is reused, while Users retain a manual override for exceptions and work completed elsewhere.
Less duplicate administration
Connect live delivery health to forward capacity decisions
Planning Intelligence explains pressure in the current portfolio and lets authorised Users test likely work separately. A warning can prompt investigation or a scenario, but it never changes operational records or blocks delivery.

Common questions
Questions about Planning Intelligence
Does a scenario alter live Jobs or resource bookings?
No. Scenarios are isolated planning assumptions and read-only references to live records.
Is Resource Planning required?
No. Capacity pools and likely work can be entered manually; enabled CRM, Resource Planning, Inventory and Accounts modules enrich the forecast.
Microsoft 365 integration
Use Outlook for commitments and JobCue for capacity decisions.
Selected records can reach Microsoft calendars, but scenarios, workload pressure and early-warning analysis remain safely separated from personal diary data.
