The Redmineflux Redmine Workload Plugin brings structured redmine workload management and resource allocation control inside Redmine. Project managers, delivery leads, and engineering leads get real workload data before committing to timelines — not estimates assembled from memory.
Without structured capacity management inside Redmine, teams run blind on allocation. Overload goes unnoticed until deadlines are already at risk. Capacity is estimated from memory rather than measured from real assignment data. Cross-project allocation conflicts surface too late to address without disrupting delivery. Forecasting becomes reactive — built on assumptions rather than actual availability. Managers absorb delivery pressure without the data needed to redistribute work or reset expectations.
The Redmineflux Workload Plugin is a structured redmine resource management and capacity planning tool built natively inside Redmine. It shows assigned hours against available hours across users, projects, and date ranges. Managers can identify workload imbalance and act on it before delivery is affected — without leaving Redmine.
The Workload Plugin gives every resource assignment in Redmine a measurable, structured view. Assignments reflect real availability through a dedicated redmine workload calendar showing capacity per user per day. Timeline decisions have actual data behind them. Managers stop guessing who has capacity and assign work with confidence. Delivery becomes more predictable, late-stage surprises drop, and the planning process scales without adding spreadsheet overhead.
Project managers see exactly who is overloaded, available, or balanced across the current sprint period before assigning new work. Redmine resource planning decisions are grounded in real data rather than informal conversations.
When timelines are based on actual team availability rather than optimistic estimates, delivery confidence increases and late-stage reallocation becomes less frequent. The planning process becomes a reliable input to delivery, not an afterthought.
Spreadsheet-based capacity tracking requires constant maintenance. The Workload Plugin pulls redmine workload tracking data directly from Redmine task assignments, which means the view is always current without anyone needing to update it manually.
When workload imbalance is visible, it can be fixed. Managers who see overloaded engineers and spare capacity in the same view can redistribute work before performance suffers. The plugin makes resource overallocation a planning problem, not a delivery crisis.
Shared resources across multiple projects create allocation conflicts that stay hidden without a unified view. The Workload Plugin surfaces those conflicts at the planning stage, while they can still be resolved. Redmine resource planning for multiple projects becomes a structured process, not an improvised one.
The Workload Plugin shares the same Redmine issue base as all other Redmineflux plugins. Use the Timesheet Plugin alongside the Workload Plugin to compare planned capacity against actual time logged — past effort informs future allocation. Use the Gantt Chart Plugin to align timeline planning with workload data in the same environment. Use the Dashboard Plugin to surface team capacity summaries in executive project views without switching tools.

How do I manage workload in Redmine with this plugin?
Install the Workload Plugin on your Redmine instance and it immediately surfaces assigned hours against available hours for every team member across your configured projects. Project managers can view the redmine team workload dashboard, filter by user or project, and use drag-and-drop task assignment to rebalance work — all without leaving Redmine.
Is the Redmine Workload Plugin compatible with Redmine 6?
Yes. The Redmineflux Workload Plugin is tested and maintained against the three most recent stable Redmine releases, which includes Redmine 6. Compatibility is verified with each plugin update. Check the plugin documentation for the confirmed supported version list before installing on your instance.
How do I allocate resources in Redmine across multiple projects?
The Workload Plugin provides a unified portfolio view that displays every team member's assignments across all active projects in a single dashboard. You can identify overloaded engineers, underutilised capacity, and cross-project conflicts at a glance — then use drag-and-drop reassignment to resolve allocation conflicts before they affect delivery.
Can I see workload per user per day in Redmine?
Yes. The Workload Plugin includes a per-user, per-day capacity view that shows assigned hours against available hours at a daily granularity. Configure working hours, leave schedules, and holiday schemes so the availability data reflects actual person-days rather than calendar days. The today-line indicator marks the current position in the planning horizon.
