Efficient for Resource Planning, Less So for Engineering Detail
What do you like best about the product?
- Balances workload across engineers and analysts:
+ Visual schedule shows who’s over- or under-utilized.
+ Lets leads reassign or delay tasks to avoid burnout and bottlenecks.
Why it helps: Keeps delivery consistent and prevents critical-path delays caused by uneven workloads.
- Supports utilization reporting:
+ Tracks billable vs. internal (non-billable) analytics or engineering effort.
+ Reports help justify headcount or demonstrate workload trends to leadership.
Why it helps: Provides visibility into how team time is spent and supports resourcing decisions.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Limited context for engineering complexity: Float treats all tasks as equal-length time blocks — it doesn’t account for technical uncertainty, dependencies, or scope creep.
Downside: Estimates in Float can oversimplify engineering effort, leading to unrealistic expectations.
- Less value for individual contributors: Most of Float’s insights (capacity, utilization, forecasting) benefit leads or managers more than engineers themselves.

What problems Float is solving
Lack of visibility into team workload and availability
– Before Float, it was hard to see who was available, who was overbooked, or when projects could realistically start.
– Float centralizes that view, showing team capacity and planned work in one place.
Difficulty coordinating tasks across multiple projects
– Engineering and analytics teams often juggle overlapping priorities.
– Float makes it easy to assign and adjust work, ensuring deadlines stay balanced across the team.
Inconsistent or manual time tracking
– Float’s time tracking lets team members log actual time spent directly against planned work.
– This helps compare estimated vs. actual effort, improving future planning accuracy.
Limited forecasting for future capacity
– Without Float, it’s challenging to predict when the team can take on new work.
– Float’s scheduling and reporting features help forecast upcoming availability and workload trends.
