Lousy time and resource management

When working on several projects in parallel, issues of resource planning arise quickly, and
managing time in a more efficient way becomes a necessity.

That's why engineering firms that reach even a moderate size will need the right tools to
manage their teams capacity, monitor who's available, who's busy, what resources are
required and who the company might need to hire based on skill gaps.

Being unable to answer such questions will always cause delays in production, make
employees and customers unhappy, and in the long run impact your company's performance
and profitability.

One indicator that can be used to measure the effectiveness of time management is the ratio
between planned time versus actual time spent on project. It will give you a clear analysis of
the effectiveness of your planning, and reflect your propensity to anticipate risks on your
projects.
