Resource Planning
Advanced Capacity Planning and Multi-Project Resource Governance
Manage scarce resources across multiple projects using priority, capacity visibility and realistic demand rather than optimizing each project independently.
Three programs each assumed the same specialist team at 100% availability. Individually every plan looked feasible; portfolio analysis showed 250% demand for the same skill. Reprioritization prevented predictable delay.
Project Resource Planning: Work Centers, Activities and Capacity
Plan project labor and execution capacity through network activities, work centers, work quantities and calendars so the schedule reflects real resource availability.
A project planned 160 hours of engineering work as a two-day activity without considering only two engineers were available. Capacity leveling showed the activity needed much longer and moved the project critical path.
