For Resource Managers

You allocate people across projects and need to spot conflicts before they become problems. TruePPM gives you per-task resource assignment within projects today, with cross-project visibility on the enterprise roadmap.

What you get today

Resource assignments

Assign resources to tasks with the REST API. Each assignment links a resource to a task within a project:

# Assign a resource to a task
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v1/task-resources/ \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"task": "<task-id>", "resource": "<resource-id>"}'

Project-scoped visibility

See who’s assigned to what within each project. Resources and task-resource assignments have full CRUD endpoints, so you can build allocation reports from the API.

Real-time awareness

When a scheduler changes the plan — re-sequences tasks or adjusts durations — the schedule recalculates automatically and connected clients receive a WebSocket notification. You see allocation changes as they happen.

Current limitations

TruePPM’s resource management is basic in the current pre-alpha:

• No partial allocation percentages yet — assignment is binary (assigned or not)
• No cross-project view — resource assignments are per-project; no single dashboard showing a person’s load across all projects
• No conflict detection — if someone is assigned to overlapping tasks across projects, there’s no automatic warning

These are important for resource managers and are prioritized on the roadmap.

What’s coming

Feature	Status	Edition
Resource allocation percentages	Planned	Community
Resource view (per-project)	Planned	Community
Cross-project resource view (within a program)	Planned	Community
Cross-program resource leveling	Planned	Enterprise
Resource heat map (cross-portfolio)	Planned	Enterprise
Capacity forecasting (portfolio scope)	Planned	Enterprise
Conflict detection and alerts	Planned	Community

Community vs. Enterprise

Within a program (one or more related projects), resource management will be fully featured in the community edition — including conflict detection within the program. Cross-program and portfolio-level features (leveling across programs, org-wide heat maps, portfolio capacity forecasting) are planned for the enterprise edition.

Getting started

1. Ask your admin to set up a TruePPM instance
2. Walk through the Quickstart to understand the API
3. Explore the API reference — see the Resources and Task-Resources endpoints
4. Review the RBAC model — Admin role (3) or above is needed to manage resources
