Resource Analysis

Resource contention in the market and among projects is getting worse. This is a critical component to accurate project timelines and budgets. According to Guttman Development Strategies and Kepner-Tregoe Inc., 69% of projects are not given sufficient resources to accomplish goals and 84% of the resources are not relieved of their current responsibilities. These mistakes negatively impact timelines and project budgets. Let us work together to prevent these occurrences and improve your project outcomes.

Staffing Plans

People cost money. Efficiently using resources to complete projects is key to maintaining appropriate staffing levels and avoiding staff turnover.

• Accurate resource work estimates by project
• Identify staffing gaps to meet project objectives
• Under and over allocated resource review
• Staff assignment and allocation

Budget Accuracy

Starting projects with accurate budgets is essential. Most projects experience budget overruns, resulting in reduced investment in other areas and a lower quality deliverable.

• Resource driven timeline and budgets
• Operating and capital budget definition
• Fiscal quarter budget definition
• Budget baseline for actual performance comparison

Establishing a timeline

Timeline development should not be defined independent of resources and budget. Timelines should be defined based on resource work

• Automatic timeline definition based on resource allocation
• Visualize timeline bar graph
• Visually review relationships to other projects
• Quickly change project timelines to analyze impact to resources and budgets
