Resource scheduling and team capacity planning

resourceguruapp.com ↗

Resource Guru added Gantt charts and SOC 2 — leveling up from scheduler to enterprise PM tool.

resource-managementschedulinggantt-chartssoc-2capacity-planningagencies
◆Current state
Resource Guru shipped Gantt charts as a first-class view in April, expanded their zoom levels in May, achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance in March, and added country-aware public holiday automation in February. Between releases, the team publishes capacity-planning content and a direct comparison against Float. Cadence is steady and product-update-heavy compared to most tools in the category.
◆Where it's heading
Resource Guru is migrating from 'simple team scheduling' into the broader resource-management-and-project-planning category — Gantt charts and capacity planning content directly target buyers who would otherwise pick Float, Forecast, or a heavier PM suite. SOC 2 Type II is the matching enterprise-readiness move. The combination signals an attempt to move up-market without losing the simplicity that won the SMB segment.
◆Prediction
Expect dependency management and baselines to follow the Gantt rollout — those are the next features serious project planners ask for once visual timelines exist. A formal capacity-forecasting module is the other obvious extension given how heavily that topic is being seeded in the content stream.
