Who is on your team
Your team is everybody who reports to you directly, everybody in a team you lead, and their reports in turn. An executive (level 4), the workspace owner included, sees everybody. The reporting line comes from each person's manager in this workspace, set in Organisation › People & access › People.
Your team's day
Your team's day, at the top of the page beside the page's own actions, opens what your people are meant to be doing today and what actually moved, read the same way as the head of the business's day. It is narrowed to your own people and is never widened to the whole company. The button is there for anybody somebody reports to.
Team health
The strip at the top counts your reports by status: steady, worth a look and needs focus.
The roster. Everybody on your team, with their status and their goal completion score, most in need of attention first. Press a person to open them.
A person. Their name, role, department and status, a one-line summary, and two buttons:
- Prepare a 1-on-1 opens Conversation Templates, with structures for the conversations managers have to have and your own team offered as the people to run them with. It does not book a meeting; book the one-to-one in Meetings and tasks.
- Give feedback opens Feedback's Give sheet with this person already chosen. See Feedback.
What's going well and Where to focus. Two columns written from the person's records.
Recommended next steps. Up to three specific suggestions for this week, each labelled with the module it belongs to. Act on them in that module.
Across the six areas. Each area is green, amber or red, worked out from the records that area owns:
- Goals delivery
- Check-in rhythm
- Review progress
- Development
- Talent signal
- Recognition, received and given this cycle
Recent signals. What has changed for this person lately.
What on track means
One definition, used across Rople: pace. Somebody is on track when progress has kept up with the clock. Fifty per cent done is excellent in the first week of a cycle and a crisis in the last.
Workload & capacity
Where: rople.app/w/workload, the second row under Manager Cockpit.
Committed hours against available hours, by person, for this week and the next three. A manager (level 3 and above) sees everybody; anybody else sees their own row, which still answers "how is my month looking".
- Committed is hours booked on the Schedule plus the estimated hours of open tasks due that week.
- Available is the hours a person works in a week, less time off.
The figures across the top are This week (committed against available), Over capacity, With room (under half their week committed) and Not sized (open tasks with no estimate).
The table has one row per person, most loaded first, showing their weekly hours and job title, a bar for each week marked Has room, Steady, Full or Over capacity (with days off noted), and their open and overdue tasks. Hover a week to see booked hours and task hours separately. Use the arrows and This week to move through the weeks.
Away soon lists upcoming leave, sickness, training, public holidays and other time away.
Estimated hours
A task's Hours field, set when you create or edit it, is its estimate. Tasks with no estimate count towards Not sized, because they are what turn capacity into a guess. Size tasks and book work on the Schedule, and this screen becomes the answer to "can we take this on".
Weekly hours
- Per person. Hours on a person's row sets the hours they work in a week; part-time is fewer. A manager can set anybody's; everybody can set their own, also from Account › Work.
- Per role. Hours by role, below the table for managers, sets a role's normal working week by job title. Saving sets everybody with that title now, and anybody hired into it later starts on it. A person's own hours, set on their row, stay theirs.
Time off is added from Time off on the Schedule, or from Account › Work.
How it connects
- Goals, check-ins, reviews, development, talent and recognition each supply one of the six areas. See Goals and KPIs, Reviews, Development, Talent and Recognition.
- Workload reads tasks and the Schedule from Meetings and tasks.
- Skills & certifications ranks who can do a job by the same room-in-the-week reading. See Talent.
- The same people data across the organisation is People Analytics.
- Capacity by department, four weeks out, is in Intelligence › Forecasts. See Intelligence.
Common questions
Why is somebody amber when their goals look fine? Because the reading covers six areas. Goals on track and no check-in for two months is amber, and the area breakdown says which one.
Somebody I manage is not on the roster. Their manager field does not point at you and they are not in a team you lead. Both are set in Organisation › People & access.
Why is somebody over capacity when they have little to do? Check their weekly hours and time off. Somebody set to part-time hours, or away for part of the week, has fewer hours to fill.
Does my team see this screen? They see their own row on Workload & capacity, and their own goals, feedback and development plan. The Team health reading is for the manager.
