Plan shifts around the work your live operations require
Compare demand from events and tasks with planned shift capacity. See coverage gaps, staff shifts and assign operational work to people on duty.
Built for operations managers, shift planners and team leads.
Workload vs. Staffing
Match shift capacity to operational demand
Events, tasks and ongoing operations create demand. Shifts provide planned capacity; staffing and availability determine who may be able to cover it.
Work creates demand
Events and tasks can generate time-based staffing requirements
Staff availability varies
Teams work different shifts, and availability changes by day
Changes affect demand
Changed events or tasks may create or resolve coverage gaps; planners review the shift plan
From shift planning to workload coverage
Keep demand, planned capacity and confirmed staffing distinct, so planners can see what is covered and what still needs action.
Plan shifts
Create work periods and define the roles to be staffed
See operational demand
Review workload from events, tasks and other sources
Compare capacity and workload
Find gaps by time, team or role
Staff open positions
Check availability and fill shift positions
Distribute current work
Assign event or task responsibility to people on duty
Review changes
Adjust the plan when demand or availability changes
See workload, shift capacity and coverage gaps
Compare time-based demand with planned and confirmed staffing. See where roles are uncovered and which shifts may need adjustment.
What this view helps you see
Review people planned for each shift
Trace demand to events and tasks
Compare workload with shift capacity
Spot gaps and surplus capacity
Distribute live event work across staffed shifts
See scheduled work beside the people on duty. Team leads can assign current event or task responsibility without changing the underlying shift.
See the event schedule
“View the live events, feeds or production tasks that need coverage during the shift.”
See who is available
“Compare events against the people actually working that shift.”
Assign responsibility
“Allocate current event or task work to a person on duty.”
Make ownership visible
“Assigned work shows who is responsible while shifts show who is on duty.”
ShiftOps
Shift planning and workload capabilities
Workload calculation
Translate event and task requirements into time-based demand that planners can trace to its source.
Shift overview
View scheduled shifts, available staff and shift patterns by day and week.
Staff availability
Use availability as a planning constraint while keeping it separate from shift confirmation.
Operational work assignment
Distribute current event or task work among people on duty without confusing it with shift staffing.
Gap detection
Identify understaffed days, overstaffed periods and imbalanced team allocation.
Capacity planning
Compare workload with planned and confirmed capacity across teams and time periods.
Powered by platform capabilities
ShiftOps is strengthened by LiveAnchor's cross-platform capabilities.
Data Import & Rules Engine
Import event and task data that can contribute to workload requirements alongside other demand sources.
Template Management
Create recurring shifts from reusable patterns while keeping individual shift occurrences editable.
Change-Tracker™
Track changes to workload, shifts or assignments and notify affected users.
