Five-day professional program. Approximately 25-30 training hours. Final agenda, language and delivery arrangements are confirmed in the proposal.

Course Overview

Balance project demand with available skills and resource capacity.

This proposed five-day program develops a structured approach through case analysis, facilitated discussion and practical working documents. Participants adapt the learning to their organizational context and produce a final project resource and capacity plan.

Learning Outcomes

Assess resource requirements and capacity assumptions.

Evaluate role and skill demand analysis.

Apply a structured approach to allocation, constraints and prioritization.

Develop recommendations for capacity monitoring and resource scenarios.

Prepare and present a project resource and capacity plan.

Who Should Attend

Project managers, program coordinators, PMO professionals and project sponsors.

Relevant professional experience is recommended. Participant responsibilities and prerequisite knowledge are reviewed during scoping.

Training Methodology

Facilitated discussion, worked examples, anonymized case analysis, practical workshops, peer feedback and an applied final assignment.

Learning assessment may include a baseline discussion, review of working documents and a final presentation. Completion requirements are confirmed in the proposal.

Course Outline

Proposed sequence, subject to the agreed training proposal.

Day 1 – Resource requirements and capacity assumptions

Define the context, assess current practices and identify the key decisions relating to resource requirements and capacity assumptions.

Practical output: Resource requirements and capacity assumptions working brief

Day 2 – Role and skill demand analysis

Interpret sample information, compare suitable approaches and document assumptions for role and skill demand analysis.

Practical output: Role and skill demand analysis working brief

Day 3 – Allocation, constraints and prioritization

Apply structured tools to an anonymized case and develop recommendations for allocation, constraints and prioritization.

Practical output: Allocation, constraints and prioritization working brief

Day 4 – Capacity monitoring and resource scenarios

Review responsibilities, risks and follow-up measures through a practical exercise on capacity monitoring and resource scenarios.

Practical output: Capacity monitoring and resource scenarios working brief

Day 5 – Resource planning simulation

Integrate the course learning into a practical assignment on resource planning simulation; present recommendations and an implementation roadmap.
