Poor resource management jeopardises your projects
43% of projects fail because of poor resource management, according to the Association for Project Management. Poor anticipation of team availability, unclear decision-making or unrealistic assignments quickly lead to delays, budget overruns and staff overload. Projects run out of steam, quality suffers and teams burn out. Without a clear, managed view of resources, imbalance between demand and actual capacity will set in. Schedule conflicts stack up, skills are poorly used, key employees are asked to work on too many fronts… The result is internal tension, a seized-up portfolio and projects in jeopardy.
Regain control. Align capacity and workload.
With Project monitor, switch to centralised, dynamic, strategic resource management. The solution helps you to balance workload and capacity, anticipate periods of pressure and optimise the commitment of your teams. This enhanced clarity is a game-changer for your projects… and your teams.
Plan your resources methodically
Preparing good allocation starts with an overview:
- Centralise your projects in a single portfolio
- Prioritise initiatives according to objective criteria: strategy, value, risk
- Estimate workloads by phase and by project
- Identify key skills and related needs
Result: you know which projects you can undertake, when, and with what resources.
Allocate your resources according to the situation on the ground
Allocation should not be based on guess-work:
- Assign employees according to their role, skills and availability
- Protect priority projects with shared decision-making rules
- Adapt your plans in real time according to progress and unforeseen events
- Manage workloads accurately to anticipate pressure
Result: smooth organisation, committed teams and better-managed projects.
Anticipate drift and continuously improve
Good resource management is not just about planning: it is about adjusting and progressing, project by project.
- Compare forecasts with actual figures to identify deviations
- Identify areas of over-consumption to refine your forecasts
- Make the most of feedback to improve the reliability of your future planning
Result: your management becomes more mature, your forecasts more accurate and your decisions more informed.
