Resource & Traffic Booking Form

A resource and traffic booking template — book people onto a live job or pitch, with the roles, dates and priority so the schedule stays clear.

Description

Getting the right people onto a job shouldn’t mean pulling them off live work at the last minute. This resource and traffic booking template gives teams a clear way to request people for a project or pitch, and gives traffic the notice and context to resource it properly.

It ties the request to a client or job code and project name, captures what’s needed (creative, design, copy, motion, dev, strategy, account or a producer) and how many people, and sets the priority. It records when the work is needed from and until, the estimated days, whether budget is approved, and a brief for whoever picks it up.

Ideal for agency traffic managers, resourcing leads and studio teams. Use it to book resource with enough notice, balance jobs against capacity, and give people the context to hit the ground running. Customize the roles, add your branding, and embed it internally or share a link in minutes.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Resource & Traffic Booking Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What is a resource booking form?

A resource booking form is how a team requests people for a project — the roles, number, timing and priority — so a traffic or resourcing manager can staff the job without pulling people off live work unexpectedly.

What should a traffic request include?

The client or job code and project, what roles are needed and how many, the priority, when the work is needed from and until, the estimated days, budget approval and a brief for whoever picks it up.

Why give traffic notice on resource requests?

So people can be booked without disrupting live work. A day or two’s notice lets resourcing balance the request against everyone’s current capacity rather than fire-fighting, which usually means the right person gets the job instead of whoever happens to be free at the last minute.

Why include a brief on a resource request?

So whoever’s booked can start with context rather than chasing details. A short brief on the job, what’s needed and by when makes the handover smooth, so the person picking it up is productive from the first hour instead of spending it working out what to do.

Can this handle pitches as well as live jobs?

Yes — it works for booking resource onto client projects and new-business pitches alike, with a priority field to flag anything urgent. Pitches often need people at short notice, so routing them through the same request keeps them visible rather than pulling people invisibly off live work.

Is this resource booking template free to use?

Yes. Edit the roles and priorities to match your teams, restyle it, and embed it internally or share a link in minutes. No coding needed — just a free Fun Forms account to collect responses.
