Storyboard: Manage Uncertain Project Demand with Right-Sized Resource Agility

Author(s): Matt Burton, Terra Aartsen

IT departments facing uncertainty in terms of the amount and nature of funding and projects need to be flexible in their resourcing (e.g. equipment capacity, staffing). This flexibility comes at a price, so organizations must be careful not to overinvest in contingencies they don’t need.
 
This storyboard will:

  • Outline agility-enabling processes that are the basis of responsive resourcing.
  • Provide contingency resourcing options for people and technology.
  • Detail the appropriateness of different resourcing options under different conditions.

Right-sized agility requires careful planning, execution, and ongoing attention. Use this storyboard to prepare for the unexpected.
