Planview is sponsoring the research.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Initial Research Shows That the Resource Dilemma is Solvable<\/h3>\n<p>Based on the qualitative findings of the study to-date, some of the most mature companies in these two key areas of capacity planning and resource management are overcoming the resource dilemma. They report that they are no longer taking on too many projects for their resources due to a data-driven, rigorous front-end process, consistent capacity planning, and the use of the right tools to align resources to high priority product development. The initial research in this area, conducted less than two years ago, uncovered very few (if any) companies experiencing this level of maturity and business value: which is to better utilize resources for timely product portfolio and innovation.<\/p>\n<h3>Data, Data, Data<\/h3>\n<p>The quantitative data from this year&#8217;s online survey is key to finding out:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Where companies rank on this maturity scale and how many are effectively addressing the resource dilemma<\/li>\n<li>Top pain points and business risks<\/li>\n<li>Visibility into resources, project estimate accuracy, ability to conduct what-if scenarios for critical decision-making<\/li>\n<li>Characteristics and best practices of companies mastering capacity planning and resource management to support product and innovation efforts<\/li>\n<li>Recommendations and a roadmap to improve and realize more productivity from precious, finite resources<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Several hundred companies have participated already and we need more product development and R&amp;D leaders to share their experience! <strong>Stay tuned to Product Pulse for details and get your copy<\/strong> of the <a title=\"2013 Resource Management and Capacity Planning Benchmark Study\" href=\"https:\/\/go.planview.com\/resource-managment-capacity-planning-benchmark-study\/?tactic=productpulse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>2013 Resource Management and Capacity Planning Benchmark Study<\/i><\/a> now.<\/p>\n<p>Questions about the Research?
