Project Workforce Planning
By Dr. Harold Kerzner
Abstract
Workforce estimating is expected to increase in importance and challenge even the best companies performing project management efforts. But even with the workforce issues discussed in this white paper, the growth in technology and applications to project management practices should make the challenge easier as time progresses. Projects are managed by people, not tools. Having the right people with the right skill set is essential for business growth.
