Monday Team Workload Balancer
Detect overallocated team members and suggest task reassignments.
Nora counts items assigned per person, estimates hours (using Monday fields), and alerts when someone's overloaded. Prevent burnout and keep morale high.
Nora scans your Monday boards weekly and counts active items per person. Using a 'Story Points' or 'Hours Estimate' field (if present), Nora calculates total workload. When someone has >10 items or >50 estimated hours in a sprint, Nora flags them as overallocated and suggests items to reassign to teammates with capacity. The report shows current allocation, capacity band (under, at, over), and recommended rebalance. This is especially valuable for service teams where project mix varies, or for product teams ramping new people. Catching overallocation early prevents quality issues and turnover.
Runs every monday morning using Monday.com, run by your Project Manager.
