Growing request list
Existing large backlog
Quick-changing demands
Bottlenecks on key resources / skills
Challenge Too many projects and commitments, not enough people
Solution Resource Requirements Forecast + “Local” Project Roadmaps
Manage the constrained resources and let everything else “flow”

What Questions are we Trying to Answer?
Business (external):
• Why aren’t my projects getting resources?
How are projects prioritized?
• How can we get more resources for projects?
What am I getting for my [allocated] IT budget?
IT (internal):
• Why aren’t my business partners’ projects getting resources?
How are projects prioritized?
How do we prioritize projects, operations and break-fix support
while servicing multiple constituents (business and IT)?
• Why are we working on [this activity] and not [my project]?
When can we lock-in Committed Dates?
How can we bridge from High-Level Forecast to Tactical Plan?
RPM: Framework for Answering Questions
– Define Standards for Allocation of Resources
– Facilitate Project Specification, Prioritization and Scheduling
– Maintain Visibility to Resource Allocation and Assignment

Next Steps - Define Standards for Allocation of Resources
How much time on Admin? Department standards / expectations
What tasks, what % of time for “RTB”?
Which systems, resources, time commitment for “Maintenance”?
How much time / resources on the prioritized list of Projects?
What is the `best mix?

Symphony 2008 Objectives
Problem:
We [still] prioritize and schedule more work than we can get done!
Cause / Effect:
– Stuff takes a long time to finish
– Stuff takes a long time to get started
– Outside factors stop progress; restarts are painful
– 1 / 2 / 3 / 99 … difficult / inconsistent / squishy
– Stopping something that is already started is almost unheard of
Result:
– Angst about overscheduling …
– Frustration over Constrained Resources
– Frustration over Lack of Control of My Schedule
– ... and we avoid the "most difficult" conversations with business units that want this stuff
we avoid the "No"'s
