## About resource management

BigPicture helps you efficiently and effectively utilize available resources to achieve specific goals. It supports you with planning, organizing, and allocating resources to ensure that projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the desired quality standards.

## Holiday plan

You can create unlimited holiday plans to reflect the holidays and observances. Each non-working day resulting from the holiday plan reduces the capacity of the assigned resource or the team.

In addition, [absences](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BGcDRAFT/pages/3538537444) further reduce the resource capacity.

Refer to the [Holiday plan](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BGcDRAFT/pages/3538537414) page for more information.

## Workload plan

A workload plan is a calendar that reflects an individual resource's specific working hours. It is the basis for calculating individual and team capacity in the Resources and Board modules.

Refer to the [Workload plan](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BGdcDRAFT/pages/2613549599) page for more information.
