RESOURCE PLANNING

Building a Resource Planning Organization contributes to PMO enablement, financial accountability, better product and program prioritization and improved communication with client sponsors. Resource planning is a high value managemement discipline that is not difficult to implement and pays off in a short period of time. There are three dimensions to resource planning; these are priority, supply and demand. All three dimensions are required to determine feasibility, which should be considered at all levels of work before funding or moving to the next stage of an initiative... Resource planning plays a role in all 3 of these. Moreover, the most common PMO failures tend to result from a lack of resource planning and understanding.
