It also monitors their progress and identifies potential problems without relying on calendars and spreadsheets. Users can create repeating or split plans and display them on Google Events or Office 365. Multiple vacations and workload schemes may be added or absorbed into the plan. It is hosted on a centralized platform to ensure overlapping cannot occur. Users may save or filter resource planning views and set up permissions so that administrators approve plans before actioning them. Timesheets may be auto-generated from the plans entered into the system. Tempo Planner also has visual tools to help users balance workloads, ensuring certain teams are not overburdened while others are underutilized. Team members can add information, add plans and make requests. Employees can use a ticket or a priority system to dictate when the administrator should address concerns or requests. > > Verdict: Rated **4.2/5** by 32 users.

I always have to juggle between sprint tasks and quick fixes for bugs in the backend, database optimizations, and complex API integrations. Tempo provides our team with a visual cue of real availability prior to ticket assignment. It prevents management from allocating us on paper so that the deployment cycles are realistic and don't overwhelm the team. > > **Cons**: Filtering resources across multiple dev teams can be a bit of a learning curve as it can become rather cluttered and busy in the UI. Besides, manually updating the scheduled capacity when priorities change in mid-sprint is somewhat cumbersome and tedious. > > Just adapts well between Management expectations and actual bandwidth developed in reality. It is more informative about what our real team velocity is, rather than guessing. It is a good choice of software release management software for complex software releases. ----- ### "A Reliable Tool for Smarter Capacity Planning" — 5.0/5 > **REHAN** | *22 June 2026* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Tempo Capacity Planner is particularly useful because it helps the organisation to visualize team’s workload and upcoming capacity. The planning interface is easy to browse and using the tool has helped the organization better allocate resources and thus improved cross-team coordination, while at the same time reducing the risk of overbooking important people in critical resources. > > **Cons**: The reporting could stand to be more adaptable \& customized Some users may need a brief transition into some of the advanced capabilities on this platform There is sometimes more effort involved in upgrading a plan or making any type of change than might be anticipated. > > Tempo Capacity Planner has worked well for me.The tool allows the team to understand our team’s capacity better, visualize workload, allocate people resources, and identify potential clashes. It makes it easier to forecast and plan workloads more accurately. The ability to see who is available when is great. ----- ### "Need more flexibility in visibility/reporting" — 2.0/5 > **Rachel** | *30 July 2020* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy to input a block of time and the software will automatically allocate daily amounts for you. > > **Cons**: It is not possible to hide planned time from the production team, and this planned time shows up in Tempo where team members go daily to log this time. Because the time is broken out in equal parts across the assigned time period, it is often broken into odd increments that do not fit our 15 minute increment structure. Because this is surfaced to the team, we anticipate issues with them logging planned time rather than their actuals and fussing when their actuals do not match the planned resourcing for the week (which they often do not). We also miss the capability to color code the planned work by project manager (which we had in Float). The overhead view of all resources is not as easy to break down as our previous program, Float, because it does not surface enough detail. We also cannot export the single most important report as a CSV (estimates versus actuals), which was the \#1 reason we anticipated moving to Tempo planner in the first place. > > In conjunction with our Senior Project Manager, I tried out Tempo planner on just the project management team and did not feel it was well fit to our needs. We submitted a ticker to tempo/jira, and our needs are not able to be met (CSV esport of estimates versus actuals, very important to our workflow). Because of this, we are looking into alternatives. We are still trying to move away from Float, our current resourcing tool, but are not sure that Tempo Planner would suit us any better. ----- ### "Planning with Tempo Planner\!" — 5.0/5 > **Mai** | *22 March 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Loving the new Tempo Capacity Planner for our small team\! As a team of meeting and event planners, Tempo allows us to assign the right planner to the job and provide them with the tools, resources and collaborators they need\! > > **Cons**: No cons thus far, we're still learning how to use it for forecasting but so far it has been incredibly user friendly and the entire team has adopted it seamlessly. > > As a small boutique firm of event planners and designers, we're loving the ease of use as we use Tempo Capacity to assign the right planner for the right job\! ----- ### "Easy to Use and Great for Workload Planning" — 5.0/5 > **Kamini** | *1 July 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has clean simple interface where multiple projects is clearly displayed along with the resources capacities and workload planning is clearly reflected. Works well for capacity planning , work load balancing and identifying potential clashes in schedule which can potentially impact deliverables. Planning process works intuitively and well integrated with collaboration workflow. > > **Cons**: The reporting and dashboard customizability could also be increased – especially by teams that require in-depth views of their capacity. Some aspects of configuring complex planning features will require a bit of a learning curve when initially set up. > > The Tempo Capacity Planner is a helpful resource to manage and plan resource and team capacity. Once implementated, team capacity planning provides a good overview of stream workloads, enabling the teams to plan ahead and handle the workload proactively. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/411503/tempo-planner?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/411503/tempo-planner) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
