Resource Calendar

A schedule that lists, for each resource, the specific dates and time blocks (shifts) when that resource is available for assignment.

Key Points

  • Captures availability for specific people, equipment, or facilities by day and shift.
  • Enables realistic task scheduling, resource allocation, and resource leveling.
  • Shows exceptions such as holidays, leave, training, maintenance, or overtime limits.
  • Differs from the project calendar, which sets general work times for the whole project.

Example

On a construction project, the tower crane is available Monday to Wednesday from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and the certified operator is off next Friday. The project manager reviews the resource calendar and schedules all lift activities within the crane and operator overlap to avoid delays.
