Top Down Resource Demand: The Missing Ingredient in Resource Capacity Planning

Top Down Resource Demand: The Missing Ingredient in Resource Capacity Planning

Presented by Andy Berner on November 18, 2015 at 1pm EDT.

As companies try to innovate and at the same time keep software development costs in line, balancing the projects you plan with the resources you need becomes a major challenge. Portfolio and resource management systems, such as CA PPM (formerly known as CA Clarity), have many of the ingredients you need to meet that challenge, but a key ingredient is missing: credible resource demand for the projects you plan to do.

Andy Berner will show how QSM SLIM-Estimate’s Top-Down Resource Demand capabilities provide that missing ingredient. He will explain how SLIM-Estimate predicts resource needs for your projects and why it provides the best demand estimates for resource planning. He will demonstrate how SLIM-Estimate provides demand information in a way that matches your resource planning process, and how integration with SLIM-Estimate enables the successful use of the resource management capabilities of your portfolio management system.
