Frequently Asked Questions

OpWorkz isn't a task management tool like JIRA or Asana. Instead, it focuses on the optimal planning level—what we call "work areas"—which are large enough to connect to business goals but small enough to estimate with confidence. We also differentiate through our three-point estimation system, role-based resource planning, and direct alignment with business goals.

OpWorkz is designed for businesses that run projects where the minimum unit of time is 1 day and maximum is 12 months. Our target users include management, team leads, and C-suite executives who want clear visibility into project portfolios, resource allocation, and budget forecasting.

Yes! OpWorkz is methodology-agnostic and compatible with Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid approaches. We enhance your existing processes rather than replacing them, adding the tracking and insights that traditional task management tools lack.

Work areas are the optimal planning level that bridge the gap between high-level strategies and day-to-day tasks. They're larger than individual tasks but smaller than entire projects—think "Homepage Revamp" instead of "Fix typos" or the broader "Redesign Website." This level of detail makes planning and tracking more manageable and meaningful.

Our three-point estimation approach makes uncertainty visible and manageable:

1. You provide best-case (Optimistic) and worst-case (Pessimistic) estimates
2. You set your confidence level based on current knowledge
3. OpWorkz calculates a realistic estimate automatically
4. You update regularly to narrow the range of uncertainty as the project progresses

This approach eliminates unrealistic single-point estimates and creates team ownership of projected timelines.

OpWorkz allows you to define strategic goals and link work areas directly to these objectives with quantifiable contribution metrics. This ensures resources are focused on what truly moves your business forward, helps eliminate non-strategic work, and allows prioritization based on business impact.

OpWorkz allows you to:

1. Define roles (e.g., Developer, Designer) and grades (Junior, Mid, Senior) with associated costs
2. View resource demand across all projects
3. Compare demand against available capacity
4. Identify bottlenecks before they impact delivery
5. Optimize utilization rates across teams

This approach prevents overallocation and ensures the right people are available for critical work.

OpWorkz connects project costs directly to your company's fiscal calendar, providing:

• Budget tracking with plan vs. actual costs
• Financial forecasting by fiscal quarters across scenarios
• Resource cost projections by role and work area
• Aggregated costs across your project portfolio
• Automatic projection updates when scope changes

This feature allows you to ask questions about your projects, resources, and financials in plain English and receive instant, data-driven answers. For example, you can ask "Which roles will be overallocated in Q3?" or "How is the website redesign tracking?" without waiting for custom reports.

Most teams are up and running with OpWorkz right away, not days, weeks or months. Our onboarding process is designed to be straightforward and non-disruptive to your existing workflows.
