 SP 3.2 Reconcile Work and Resource Levels
Process AreaPP
Level2
GoalSG 3
PracticeSP 3.2

Reconcile the project plan to reflect available and estimated resources.

  

IPPD Addition

When integrated teams are formed, special attention should be paid to resource commitments in circumstances of distributed integrated teams and when people are on multiple integrated teams in one or more projects.

  

To establish a project that is feasible, obtain commitment from relevant stakeholders and reconcile any differences between the estimates and the available resources. Reconciliation is typically accomplished by lowering or deferring technical performance requirements, negotiating more resources, finding ways to increase productivity, outsourcing, adjusting the staff skill mix, or revising all plans that affect the project or schedules.

Typical Work Products
