PDWare ResourceFirst is enterprise portfolio and resource capacity planning software for aligning project demand with available skills and staff. It models prioritized skill demand against capacity across portfolios, teams, and time, with shortfall and utilization views. Its Waterline method funds work that fits within the capacity line and defers work that does not. Teams can compare portfolio scenarios against the same constraints before committing headcount or budget, then post approved scenario changes to the current plan. Planning and analysis tools include labor and financial forecasts, project rankings, roadmaps, swimlanes, waterlines, and pivot reports for project, resource, financial, and skill data. Financial features include cost of capacity, demand and unused capacity, cost centers, chargeback, and budget planning. Listed integrations include SAP, Oracle Financials, Workday, Snowflake, Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, Jira, Excel, and Oracle Time & Labor. ResourceFirst is offered as cloud SaaS on Microsoft Azure or as a thin-client on-premise solution. Pricing is on request; licensing depends on planning-group size and user types. The maker says Level-1 implementation typically takes 4–6 weeks.
