Achieving optimal coordination amidst the intricate nature of long-term projects
Resource planning for extensive and long-running projects can be like solving a complex puzzle: numerous steps need to be carefully coordinated. Challenges arise from the outset with the allocation of appropriate resources and continue to mount as typical delays occur. Each delay affects subsequent employee assignments and typically triggers cascade conflicts.
Relying on error-prone manual activity recording leads to additional issues for project managers, often hampering their ability to implement targeted countermeasures.
