Resource Planner Alternatives
Runn Alternatives
Runn is a popular choice for agencies that want quick visibility into capacity and rough-cut forecasting. Scenario planning is handy and the interface is refreshingly lightweight compared with legacy PSA software.
When your delivery team scales, though, you likely need automation, and a clearer way to share schedules with stakeholders. Resource Planner gives you that next layer without sacrificing the usable feel you appreciate in Runn.
