Webinar I Capacity planning: How to create transparency and guarantee project delivery?
After prioritizing the right projects (see webinar From PMO to SRO), organizations need to link their resources (the right – available! – people) to the selected projects, to guarantee a successful delivery of the project portfolio. Teams and departments are requested to list their resource needs. Forecasts are made. Some figures are ‘tweaked’. Et voila; “X people (FTEs) are needed to complete projects, while keeping the business up and running”. What is the foundation of those estimations? Most likely gut feeling, combined with Excel sheets’ data, manually gathered from previous projects. Resulting in resource over or under allocations, delays, overruns, project cancellations, and execution teams that miss a clear overview on how they contribute to the strategic objectives. This webinar shows you how to resolve this.
