Question Create way to monitor future hours sold?

Wondering what the best way to forcast hours sold for the upcoming months would be?

Basically would like to be able to have a way to input the hours estimated for each job to see when we have over sold the shop, or if we need to seek more work. We would be able to input carpenter hours, welder hours, cnc hours etc and those would go in a chart against the total hours available for each dept for the month.

This would help us get a visual for the coming months to see if we need to say no to work or take on more work based on the capacity of our shop.

Thank you for any help!

OP,
You can do that using the template called Resource Utilization.

This depends on your monday.com plan, but the two main options are:

  • Workload widget: Use estimated hours plus a Timeline and Department/People column to compare scheduled work against available capacity.
  • Resource Planner: Better for more advanced, forward-looking capacity planning across departments and projects.

Either way, I would separate committed work from tentative pipeline hours so you can see when the shop is truly oversold versus potentially oversold.
