Organization structures in most companies today make resource management a daunting task. A lack of visibility into resource allocation and capacity, consistent prioritization and validation of actual work versus planned, contribute to this challenge.

Over 50% of IT organizations surveyed use their “best guess” when determining what capacity IT has to perform projects in a given period.

This webinar presents the fundamentals for creating and implementing a Resource Management Model using people, process and technology. A Resource Management Model is a set of processes that provide visibility, decision support and structure to effectively manage people in an organization.

Allocating resources based on availability and fit, supported by standard processes, will improve the success and predictability of projects across your organization.

COO’s, CIOs, Department VPs and Managers, PMs, Resource Managers

In short, the presentation will demonstrate that comprehensive requirements management is not about the sophistication of the tool used.

This presentation will:

• Review the role of requirements management in supporting the Proof of Concept and Solution Selection processes.
• Explore the benefit and value of combining the requirements management process w/ Proof of Concept for supporting Solution Selection
• Use a spreadsheet matrix designed to support an Enterprise Project Management (EPM) Solution deployment  for illustrative purposes.
