Resource Notes

Technically there are 2080 work hours in a year. With 10 holidays, that leaves 2000 hours. Now with normal average of two weeks vacation, that leaves 1920. So normally percent allocations are:

Percent
Allocation		 Hours
100% 1920
90% 1728
80% 1536
70% 1344
60% 1152
50% 960
40% 768

Support engineers are to be allocated 50% time which means they can be allocated 960 hours. Realize that even though this time is allocated to projects, some of the projects are placeholders for support tasks. Projects like "DMO Support - XXXXXX" so some engineers actually have less than 50% of their time actually allocated to projects.

Other Notes

Breakdown of available FTE:

  • Total Number of Work Days in Year = 260
  • Minus 11 Holidays = 249
  • Minus 2 weeks vacation = 239
  • 60% of 260 = 156
  • 60% of 239 = 143

So if you were to work X days on a project, you would be making Y% of your time available (239 days) to the project.

X (days) Y (%)
10 4%
20 8%
30 13%
40 17%
50 21%
60 25%
70 29%
80 33%
90 38%
100 42%
110 46%
120 50%
130 54%
140 59%
