Resource capacity planning helps identify the demand capacity gap so that businesses can take the right resourcing treatments to bridge the gap. It helps futureproof the workforce against market volatilities, enhance efficient utilization, and ensure successful delivery of projects.
However, various bottlenecks like resource excess/shortage, unavailability of niche resources, skill gaps, attrition, etc., can hinder capacity planning. Therefore, managers need to implement specific techniques to manage these capacity planning bottlenecks and avoid issues like client dissatisfaction, timeline delays, overscheduled resources, etc.
