Who’s Doing What, and What’s Coming Next?

Get a clearer view of the people your projects need, without making resource planning more complicated than it needs to be.

When a new project comes in, it isn’t always easy to see how it fits alongside work already under way. Plans may sit in multiple places, priorities change, and the same people may be needed by several teams. Getting a useful view of future demand can take more effort than it should.

Join Marc Soester and Christopher Pond from Altus for a practical discussion about two related questions: what capacity will we need? and how do we manage the requests and allocations that follow? You don’t have to solve both at once.

We’ll explore:

• How to build a clearer picture of resource demand across current and upcoming projects;
• How to spot potential capacity pressures and have better conversations about priorities; and
• When a more formal process for requesting and allocating people would be useful, and when a simpler approach is enough.

We’ll show what these approaches can look like in practice, from a straightforward view of demand to a more structured resource management process. The aim is to help you see what’s coming and decide what level of process is right for your team.
