"The best tool to plan capacity of a graphic design team"
What do you like best about Float?

Very nice and thought-through interface. Great functional. Allows tracking and managing work load and capacity of a team like my design unit. There is integration with Outlook calendar.

What do you dislike about Float?

I wish there was a bucket view like: Backlog-inProgress-inReview-Done/Approved. Also, I think Float functions would benefit from having some project naming automation based on mask: Number_Client_ProjectName.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before Float it was impossible to plan my team's time especially long-term. With Float I know who's doing what, blocked capacity for scheduled projects, current capacity when a new project comes in, milestones, deadlines etc at a glance.

"Intuitive and Easy for Everyone"
What do you like best about Float?

It was so easy to implement and use. No more using Excel and entering in multiple cells all the time. Additionally, the people who wouldn't use Excel to see their schedule use Float! We also love that it tracks dollars and resources by project. It's giving us visibility in to our work we haven't had before. To see that you are on budget based on team hours is amazing. We also love that we can see how booked our team is at any given time. It helps us allocate resources and shift projects as needed when things get busy. The fact that so many people in our company immediately jumped on board says a lot about the software. We searched and tried a lot of different products before finding and implementing Float. We would highly recommended trying it for your team. It's really affordable and can be started up very quickly.

What do you dislike about Float?

I wish the program could automatically build schedules using an end date like Microsoft Project but the information is really easy to enter into Float. We do wish Float would come out with a project management software that's as easy to use as their scheduling software!

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Float is helping our company adjust pricing on projects. We're learning a lot about how much time is being spent on projects, something we haven't been able to easily track until now.

"Incredible powerful tool for capacity planning, forecasting and scheduling. Love it!"
What do you like best about Float?

Integration with Asana Drop and Drag functionality Capacity plan reporting Simplicity of use eg: Filtering and search

What do you dislike about Float?

I'd love it to automatically map the dates from Asana directly on the board so that you don't have to work with them dual screen. But its not a deal breaker.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Visibility and the ability to capacity plan across all of our Asana boards and workflows. Incredibly powerful for our business at the rate that we're scaling.

"Great project assignment planning tool - simple and intuitive to use - rich with API integrations"
What do you like best about Float?

The main screen is dedicated to delivering the most important information. The filtering, sorting and view modes are natural and easy to use. We leverage external integrations with our HR systems to synchronize time off and availability, ensuring the Float information is always up to date. Both the Schedule and Project Plan view allow easy focus on possible issues and opportunities. The customization tagging combined with rich filtering really makes it accessible to all our team. Reporting is also nice with very flexible timeline options (I especially like the per month/per week/per day option in the bar chart capacity reports).

What do you dislike about Float?

Truly, it is a great platform, nothing major is an issue. Some interesting enhancements could be adding the possibility to easily simulate scenarios when planning for long-term projects.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Float is allowing us to quickly assign and ensure all our projects are fully staffed with the required personnel at a glance. It also gives us valuable medium and long-term insight on capacity planning.

"Absolutly love Float for time management!"
What do you like best about Float?

I love being able to rearrange my schedule with "drag & drop" when adjustments need to be made. It's simple & effective.

What do you dislike about Float?

Overall Float is great. The "Project Plan" screen is sometimes a little hard to read. It'd be nice if some projects could be "collapsed" or there was an abbreviated summary first!

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do creative work and often have multiple overlapping projects to manage. Float helps me plan my workweek, and is so simple to make adjustments when needed (which is common with creative work). Thank you!
