Workload Balance

An AgileWork that assigns the work for a manual activity to the participants with the smallest workloads.



Good to Know

  • Workload is determined by the sum of assigned and overdue tasks.
  • If all the participants in the group have the same work load, then the WorkLoad Balance AgileShape picks a participant at random.
