Resource Management
About Resource Management
Resource
management is the process of pre-planning, scheduling, and allocating
your resources to maximize efficiency. Resource management has become an
integral part of any business today. It has emerged as an independent
discipline after organizations became complex with matrix structure and
expanded in multiple geographies.
Why is Resource Management important?
•
Avoids unforeseen hiccups: By understanding your resources upfront and
planning how to use them, you can troubleshoot gaps or problems before
they happen.
• Prevents burnout: Effective resource management
allows you to avoid “over allocation” or “dependency” of resources by
gaining insight into your team’s workload.
• Provides a safety
net: Let’s say the project was not successful due to lack of resources
(it happens). Resource planning and management establishes that you did
everything you could with what you had.
• Builds transparency:
Other teams can gain visibility into your team’s bandwidth, and plan
accordingly if your team is at maximum capacity or available to take on
new projects.
• Measures efficiency: With a high-level
understanding of what’s needed to manage and execute an upcoming
project, you can effectively plan and measure ROI.
