Resource Management: Maintain a Balanced Team

Event Description:

Are your Project team resources working on more than one project? Is their workload being managed? Are they over allocated?

For a project to be successful (and to keep resources happy) the team’s workload should be managed so individuals are not “over allocated” or assigned more work than they can perform in a given period of time.

In this webcast we will share the top 5 ways in creating and maintaining this balance. We will show you how this is done in Microsoft Project Online/Project Server and how the tool can enable you to better manage your resources:

Request resources be available for the expected timeframes of your project
Gather information on resource availability and what other projects resources may conflict with yours
Ensure all project managers are scheduling work with allocation in mind not just the duration of tasks. Gather hour or % of effort per task when planning.
“Level” resources so they are evenly distributed across your project as well as other projects
Communicate effectively!
