The resource analysis function sets up an independent modelling environment where resource demand vs availability can be analysed and what-if analysis performed to determine the best solution to cover demand situations.
If a new project carries a high priority and resources are not available, consider these actions:
1. Delay project
2. Hire additional personnel
3. Hire contractors / temporaries
4. Outsource development
5. Stretch out existing projects to free up resources
6. Work overtime
7. Cancel lower priority projects
8. Defer or suspend lower priority projects
9. Reduce project scope and/or technical objectives
