Resource Planning
Resource planning is overwhelming, we get it.The world spins so fast (almost 1,000 mph if you’re wondering) that there’s hardly time to do anything. 75% of projects fail because of missed deadlines, an inevitable sentence when things get out of hand. Especially when you keep receiving e-mails whenever a Tom, Dick or Harry needs to reschedule their work time. On top of that, you have to answer to a panel of annoyed leaders about all the missed deadlines while they huff and puff away. Some recommend yoga and some suggest a new religion. But as you try to touch your toes on your purification path to Kaivalya in an incense-filled room, you can’t help but wonder if you should stop avoiding and start addressing the problem.
The guaranteed way is to make a list on the ways you can refer to every time you need to deal with overwhelming situations. The list should cover ways to get back on track by what to focus on, where to spend time on and what is important.

- Use a resource planning tool
- Start with a fair estimate
- Have a worst-case scenario thought out
- A fresh perspective
