Valerii

• Some folks are working on a number of projects at once (especially, folks with business-skills, or with leading-skills).

• It is not about the planning or knowing - but about simulation.

• Projects are different by size (small - 1-2 month, medium - 2-3 years).

• To be used on the organisational level.

• Not for release planning.

Prerequisites

• A lot of very precise tools on the project level, standalone and based on some methodology.

• Through team capacity in hours and project estimates

• Through team member capacity.

• Through story points and velocity.

• But what about skills?

Project level

• Each project has a set of needs, those needs might have a different timespan. And different volume of each need is required by project.

Common sense

• As a basis, for simplicity we took a minimum timespan of 1 month (to see how it will work).

• Needs are based on the skills, that you have in your organisation. In our organisation:

• Leading and consultancy

• Ruby development

• iOS development

• Android development

• Frontend development

Needs

• Let`s assume, that one person might have 4 slots for skills. All slots could be filled in by 1 slot.

• On a project level, we could select, whether to get a person-skill (4 slots of Ruby of 1 person), or just a skill-slot.

• Next step is to match person-skills with need-skills.

People

Person, project and time

• We could see the project needs for a time period, and who is allocated for that project, with specific skills.

• We could see amount of free skills by now, next month, in a year.

• We are able to simulate (ok, for this project i`ll need these skills, i`ll take them from there). What will happen?

• We are able to simulate different allocation scenarios.

• This is available for employees.

End result

• ?
