The challenges of project work make it easy to fall into the trap of thinking that ever-increasing availability of resources would solve so many of the difficulties that arise. Throw more money at it, spend more time, get more people on it – it’s a common impulse. Since the first two items are generally under severe constraint, increasing the human resource part of the equation is often the default option for planners. But is it the correct choice? Experience shows that human resource numbers beyond about 25 make it difficult for a planner to remember what skills people have and who should be assigned where. Maybe the solution lies in boosting efficiency rather than resource loads. Timewax project and resource planning software is built around the idea that successful project work is all about getting the most out of time and resources so that profits rather than expenditures increase. Instead of piling on excess resources, leverage the utilization feature of our software to analyze and manage capacity utilization as to achieve maximum productivity with existing resources. Schedule and communicate task durations accurately and clearly with Gantt charts, and use the planning board to allocate resources precisely. Count on Timewax to add a fourth factor to the planning equation: efficiency. It can work wonders to maximize utilization, increase productivity, and boost revenues.
