BIGGEST CHALLENGE:
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

While resource management is a top concern for project practitioners at over 50%, when asked further what area of resource management is most challenging, we learned that capacity planning tops the list with 42% of the responses, followed by resource allocation (37%), resource utilization (11%), skills tracking (7%) and managing contractors (3%). It continues to be encouraging to see capacity planning at the top of the list, indicating a growing maturity of PMOs that have likely overcome the obstacles related to managing external resources, skills tracking and utilization.
