# Work Planner

> Work Planner: an application to plan, simulate and communicate workload. The queue is the priority and the approved plan never moves on its own.

## Work Planner

An application to plan, simulate and communicate workload.

## The problem

When new requests arrive, the real question is: what happens to the plan if I accept? A task manager or a time tracker cannot answer, because they do not say what capacity is allocated to.

I wrote Work Planner to answer that question with numbers and dates, before saying yes.

## What I built

### 1. The queue is the priority

The order of the queue decides what matters most: no scores or algorithms choosing for you.

### 2. The scheduler

It pours the queue forward into the available capacity, splitting the effort over several days when needed.

### 3. The plan never moves on its own

Every change first produces a proposal whose impact you can see: only after approval does the plan change.

### 4. Explicit conflicts

A fixed date does not reorder the queue: if the plan misses it, a conflict appears and you decide what to move.

### My role

Personal project: concept, planning rules and development.

### Technologies

Python · Vue · TypeScript · Docker

> Stating what the program does not do (it is neither a task manager nor a time tracker) made the rules simpler. A system that proposes and never decides on its own is slower to use, but changes stay under control.
