“Epicflow is a reliable partner. It brings innovations and continuous improvement to an organization by improving employees’ output and project performance. We’re focusing on the most valuable asset — the employees. With Epicflow they become high performers and proactively deliver your projects on time and on budget.”
Jan Willem Tromp
Researcher, Co-founder of Epicflow
“Epicflow was developed to solve complex multi-project management situations. Its core is excellent resource management. Here Epicflow differs fundamentally from most well-known planning systems. They all use a deterministic approach without the ability to deal with flexibility and uncertainty like Epicflow does.”
Epicflow employs predictive analytics in the following directions:
- Capacity Utilization
- Project Health Analysis
- Performance Analysis
- Change Control
- AI-calculated Demand Levels
and Priorities - Poor Planning Detection
Ensure Business Success with Epicflow AI-Driven Features
Future Load Graph
Utilize AI Resource Planning for Balanced Workloads
Check the load vs capacity vs output including real-time information and the way they will change in the future. The tool automatically predicts the demand levels based on all project-related data and shows overload that is dangerous for other resources and even resource groups.
Competence Management
Let Everyone Work on the Right Task
Competence Management is a feature that suggests resource allocation decisions based on the competences required for task accomplishment
and the competences project team members possess as well as capacity and availability data.
Task List
Focus on the Highest Priority Tasks
Task List is a catalogue of tasks that belong to different projects ordered according to AI-calculated priorities. What makes it unique is the ability of Epicflow to take into account all dependencies between projects.
What-if Simulation
Check the Impact of Any Project Changes
What-if analysis is an AI-powered feature that predicts potential bottlenecks and shows the way the workflow will distribute in the course of time. It analyzes milestones’ feasibility which helps you make decisions about the reasonableness of project transformations when some change requests occur.
Take project risks under control with Epicflow AI resource management software
Predict resource workload to ensure smooth delivery
Forecast resource demand, workload, and output, as well as predict bottlenecks with Future Load Graph – AI resource management tool.
Analyze the workload with a few clicks
Learn what projects and tasks are overwhelming your bottleneck resources and take measures to eliminate the overload with AI resource management software – Load Analysis.
Find a bottleneck group with ease
Detect overload and underload in resource groups and examine bottlenecks from different angles: average over- or underload, or peak overload with AI-powered Bottleneck Analysis.
Predict resource workload upon initiating extra projects
Check how the workload of your resources will change if you add some extra projects to the Pipeline to make an informed decision about the reasonableness of starting them
Foresee the due dates of your projects
Use Pipeline Leveling to forecast the due dates of your multiple projects and take measures to improve the situation if you’re not satisfied with the outcomes.
Adjust the start dates of your projects to deliver them on time
Project Staggering will help you complete your multiple projects with limited shared resources on time by postponing the start dates of some of them based on existing constraints.
Test project management decisions and check their impact
With What-if Analysis, you can implement any changes to your project environment in a simulation mode and immediately see their effect up to any date in the future. Try out as many scenarios as you need and simulate the execution of your multiple projects up to any date in the future till the very completion to make sure the flow is smooth and bottleneck-free.

FAQ
How can AI help resource management?
Artificial intelligence is an essential feature of any resource management software, and it has the following functions:
- It helps bridge the demand and supply: at the planning stage, resource managers can check how many resources are needed to staff the planned projects and if there’s enough capacity to deliver them on time.
- It helps allocate resources based on essential characteristics and attributes to make the right people work on the right tasks at the right time.
- It helps predict and manage resource-related risks: if some resources are overloaded, a resource manager will learn this beforehand and have enough time to avoid a bottleneck.
- It helps make informed project and resource management decisions: with AI scenario planning, resource managers can check the consequences of any action and assess its reasonableness.
Is there an AI tool for project management?
Yes, many project management software tools available on the market today utilize artificial intelligence to make predictions, what-if simulations, and allocate resources. At the same time, not every PM tool that claims it has AI capabilities has AI features in reality.
What is AI resource management software?
AI resource management software is a tool enriched with the power of AI to manage all kinds of resources across the project portfolio to facilitate timely project delivery. It accurately predicts resource capacity and helps bridge it with the demand from projects, to balance the workload and avoid bottlenecks, and to have projects delivered on time.
What is the best AI tool for resource management?
The best AI tool for resource management is the software solution that has not only AI functionality but also other features that altogether help manage resources across the project portfolio: plan resource capacity, allocate resources intelligently based on their characteristics, match available capacity and the required demand; prioritize projects and tasks, timely react to real-time changes and adjust the schedule accordingly, manage budgets, improve decision making, and other things to ensure successful delivery of multiple projects with a shared resource pool.
