# Resource planning

Optimize your resource planning in Project Planner’s desktop client. Learn tools and steps to allocate, track, and manage resources efficiently for smoother project workflows.

In aqua's Project Planning module, it is possible to add resources to a task. To assign a resource to a task, you need to press the ![](http://aquawiki.andagon.com/pictures/drex_resource_planning_rich_client_custom.png) button. Then you can select a resource from the project in the task.

Resources can report their work at tasks by right-clicking them, selecting *Edit* and then switching to tab *Report Work.*

The resource which is assigned can also report the work directly on the home screen via Widget Tasks. &#x20;

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.aqua-cloud.io/documentation/desktop-client/project-planner/resource-planning.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
