Any suggestions for good templates on a Resource Heat Map. Looking to get senior management to understand resource constraints. Allocations plus Demand and Capacity reports are not getting traction. LoE's/BoE 's not getting looked at or understood. Need something clean and easy to understand for CxO levels.

One approach would be to have roles in the rows and time periods in the columns. Express the variance between supply & demand quantitatively and translate that to a color range.

Excel can be useful, most recently JIRA heat map seems appealing to different set of audience from what I could gather.

Rick,

Like Kiron suggestion any tool that lets you make rows and columns.

Jobs Capacity Needs Overload%

Use colour green, yellow, red to show the Heat

Dear Rick
Interesting your question
Thanks for sharing

In your opinion, what is the best way to get your message across — that is, get senior management to understand resource constraints?

Did you ask you CxOs what they need to know? (No, it's not about what you need to tell them.) You could go around trying tool after tool, hoping that one of them will work. Or you can simply ask them.
