For Project Managers

Delivery governance, workload oversight, and client reporting —
all in one platform.

Effigate gives project managers a single control plane for workload management, sprint oversight, resource allocation, scope governance, and client-ready reporting — without assembling data from multiple disconnected tools.

Built for project management governance

Stop managing delivery from spreadsheets and status emails

Project managers lose hours every week chasing status updates, building reports, and manually tracking workload. Effigate keeps the data current so managers can focus on decisions, not data collection.

No single delivery view

Delivery status is spread across sprint boards, tickets, spreadsheets, and email threads — requiring constant manual aggregation.

Workload blind spots

Managers assign work without knowing whether team members are already over capacity, leading to missed deadlines and burnout.

Manual status reports

Client status reports are assembled by hand from project boards and time records, consuming hours that should be spent on delivery.

Scope creep

Without governed work hierarchy connected to contracts, scope expansions go untracked — eroding margins and surprising finance teams.

Workload & capacity management

See who is over capacity — before it becomes a delivery risk

The Effigate workload view shows every team member's allocation across all active projects and sprints. Project managers can identify overloaded engineers, rebalance assignments, and commit to sprint scope with actual capacity data rather than assumptions.

  • Heatmap view shows over- and under-allocation per team member at a glance
  • Allocation data aggregated across all projects, sprints, and helpdesk tickets
  • Planned vs tracked hours comparison surfaces estimation gaps in real time
  • Drill into individual member workload to identify the source of overallocation
  • Workload rebalancing suggestions available from Dhyey, the AI assistant

Resource allocation intelligence

Assign the right people to the right work — at the right time

Effigate surfaces skills, availability, and current load for every team member, giving project managers the data to make informed allocation decisions. Resource conflicts are flagged before they cause schedule slippage, not after.

  • Team member availability based on workday configuration and leave schedule
  • Current load visualised against available capacity across all active assignments
  • Resource conflict detection flags double-booking across projects and sprints
  • Allocation by project role (Owner, Manager, Contributor, Reviewer, Observer)
  • Cross-project resource view for managers running multiple concurrent projects

Sprint execution & reporting

Delivery data ready for client reports without manual assembly

Sprint analytics in Effigate are generated automatically from live execution data. Velocity, burn-down, task completion rates, and time accuracy are all available without extracting data from a separate tool or building a report from scratch.

  • Sprint velocity tracked across consecutive sprints with trend visibility
  • Burn-down charts updated in real time as tasks are completed and time is logged
  • Planned vs actual comparison per sprint with per-member breakdown
  • Sprint health indicators surface at-risk items before the sprint end date
  • Client-ready delivery summaries exportable directly from the sprint reporting view

Frequently asked questions

Questions from project managers

The workload view aggregates every team member's allocation across all active projects, sprints, and helpdesk tickets. Project managers see a heatmap of over- and under-allocation before making sprint commitments, removing the guesswork from capacity planning.

Effigate shows each team member's total load across all current assignments. Resource conflicts are flagged automatically when a team member is allocated beyond their available capacity, giving project managers advance warning before schedule slippage occurs.

Sprint analytics and delivery summaries are generated from live execution data and can be exported for client reporting. Velocity, burn-down, completion rates, and time accuracy are available without manual data assembly.

The work hierarchy (Project → Epic → Story → Task) enforces structured scope definition. All work is traceable back to contracted scope, and changes outside the agreed hierarchy require deliberate creation — not ad-hoc additions. This gives project managers an auditable record of what was agreed vs what was delivered.
