Abstract

A method, computer program product and a computer system for forecasting resource usage is provided. A processor determines a job forecast. The processor determines a probability of a future usage for a first resource, wherein the first resource is currently assigned to a first job. The processor determines an assignment of a second resource to a forecasted job of the plurality of jobs, wherein the second resource is available for assignment to the forecasted job. The processor determines a probable utilization of the second resource, wherein the probable utilization of the second resource indicates the probability that the second resource will be deployed during assignment to the forecasted job. A processor, in response to the probable utilization of the second resource being below a predetermined value, generates a report including the assignment state of the second resource and probable utilization of the second resource by the forecasted job.
