RESOURCE ALLOCATION STRATEGY
Option 1: Sequential Allocation (Lower Cost)
- Allocate Phase 2 resources first
- Complete Phase 2, then allocate Phase 3
- Continue sequentially
- Advantage: Lower peak FTE, better resource utilization
- Disadvantage: Longer total timeline
Option 2: Parallel Allocation (Faster)
- Allocate Phase 2 and Phase 3 in parallel
- Start Phase 4 while Phase 2/3 complete
- Overlap phases where possible
- Advantage: Faster completion
- Disadvantage: Higher peak FTE, more coordination needed
Option 3: Phased Parallel (Balanced)
- Start Phase 2 immediately
- Start Phase 3 after Phase 2 begins (1-2 month delay)
- Start Phase 4 after Phase 2/3 are 50% complete
- Start Phase 5 after Phase 4 is 50% complete
- Start Phase 6 after Phase 4 is complete
- Advantage: Balanced approach
- Disadvantage: Requires careful coordination
RISK MITIGATION
Resource Availability Risks
-
Risk: Key personnel not available
- Mitigation: Identify multiple candidates, start recruitment early
-
Risk: Budget constraints
- Mitigation: Phased approach, prioritize critical resources
-
Risk: Tool procurement delays
- Mitigation: Start procurement early, have alternatives ready
-
Risk: Infrastructure setup delays
- Mitigation: Plan infrastructure early, use cloud services
