Float

Float has become the go-to resource management tool for agencies that need clarity on who is working on what and when. While project management tools track tasks, Float tracks people — showing a visual timeline of every team member's schedule across all projects. For agencies where the biggest constraint is always people, not processes, this people-first approach is exactly what's needed to prevent overbooking and burnout.

The scheduling interface is where Float excels. Dragging allocations across a color-coded timeline feels natural, and the capacity indicators instantly show when someone is overbooked or has availability. Agencies can plan weeks ahead, assign tentative projects, and model different staffing scenarios before committing resources. The logged-vs-scheduled time tracking adds accountability by comparing what was planned against what actually happened, surfacing estimation accuracy issues over time.

Compared to resource planning features built into tools like Monday.com or Teamwork, Float offers a more focused and polished experience dedicated entirely to the resource puzzle. The trade-off is that Float is not a project management tool — you still need Asana, Jira, or similar for task-level work. Agencies typically use Float as the strategic planning layer that sits above their day-to-day PM tool, giving leadership the visibility they need to make staffing decisions.
