Resource Management Software

An Organisation is built, supported & surrounded by many things. One of them is Resources. Resources can be Financial Resources, Inventory Resources, Human skills, Production Resources, IT Resources or can be Natural Resources. It is not limited. Basically, Tangible or Intangible resources.

Resource management is an efficient process of pre-planning, scheduling & allocating resources to maximize regulation. I strongly applaud resource management requires detailed planning and understanding before starting anything, as these are base of any Organisation, and the base, roots need to be strong.

In a professional Project Management way, Resource management is all about doing more with less. In the current market, situation Organisations are at pressure to manage the resources with efficient planning. A goal will be always to fully utilize the resources and focused on the highest priorities at given time.

Ineffective planning or poor quality which doesn’t meet the standard resources will create a negative impact and will be responsible for delays, increased costs, missed opportunities and poor productivity
The question now here is, what is the permanent solution to manage the resources efficiently?
Many Organisation hires resource managers for allocating the resource needed to Project Managers. But according to the survey, many enterprises failed at this theory. They came up with the unique idea of implementing cloud-based Resource Management software.
This resource management software tends to be a benefit for both human & non-human. It has an inbuilt repository for storing complete resource capacity and then allocating the resources across different projects.

It avoids unexpected gaps by understanding your resources upfront and planning how you use them, so you can be alert in advance for future risk and resolve them at the initial stage.

This effective resource management software allows the Organisation to avoid dependency of resources by always gaining insight into the team’s work pressure.

There will no long meetings, audit, in the Organisation to check which team is occupied by which project, how many numbers of projects, as the resource management software will do everything for you at one click.

Even If a particular team is overloaded with the projects and project manager is thinking to share other team shoulders with him, he can check directly into the software with other team’s number of projects they are working on and decide accordingly. It generally gives you transparency.

One of the major pain points of the Resource Management Industry that this Resource Management software has the key functionalities

1.Resource Management software forecast’s the near-term and mid-term resources needed to meet business objectives. Having the right people with the right skills in place, just in time to meet business demand.
2.It has visibility of billable resource capacity at any point in time w.r.t business unit, county, delivery center, and skills.
3.Visibility of who is doing what.
4.It has Visibility of the resource bench.
5.It has visibility of Resource Demand vs Supply which involves the following-
a.Sales opportunity pipeline (demand).
b.Delivery projects backlog (demand).
c.Insight into resource schedules (supply).
d.Attrition / Hiring timelines (supply).
e.It optimizes resource utilization and billable utilization.

6.It has Skill gap analysis and action management to bridge the gap (in the project) for project team members.

An important tip I want to make by ending this by 2 more points.

1. Use Resource Forecasting in your Organisation. It allows you to predict your future requirements at the initial stage when the project starts. It defines your Project Scope, unforeseen costs etc.
2.Resource Equalize: The resources which are used inefficiently within Organisation can be interrelated to similar departments.
