IT Management
Resource shortages and conflicts can plague your ability to deliver.
Understanding the resource capacity and skill sets that exist within your organization gives you the ability to balance demand and apply the right resources at the right time. Proper IT Management helps you obtain, structure, and analyze your resources to effective resource deployment.
Organizational Skills Identification
The first step is to uncover the skills, roles, and resources that currently reside within the organization. From this data, a simple categorization structure can be developed. This will facilitate resource allocation decisions across the organization. IT and HR are often involved in this process.
Resource Planning & Forecasting
Once you have a handle on the overall resources available within your organization, you need to get a clear picture of the availability of these resources to support the initiatives within your organization. We recommend a resource management database be created and tied to priorities. We can help you perform resource estimates (including resource loading and leveling) against your resource limitations, and also run “what if” scenarios to factor in new initiatives relative to resource impact and availability.
Our expert IT Management Consultants can analyze for any resource shortages and recommend the appropriate actions that will bring the most value and cost savings to the organization (contracting, hiring, using resources earlier, etc.). We can work with your existing tools, provide you with the tools, and/or help you procure the right tools to effectively perform resource management functions scaled to your organization’s size and needs.
